How the first page could read
One bright morning, your child heard a tiny peep beside the ferns. There, under a soft green leaf, sat a round, speckled egg and a worried little dinosaur. “My nest is over the hill,” said the dinosaur. Your child knew just what to do.
Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.
Why this story works
This gentle story gives young toddlers a clear, comforting job: help a small dinosaur carry one precious egg back to its leafy nest. The action stays close to nursery-friendly landmarks—ferns, a shallow stream and a hill—so your child can follow what is happening. Their photo becomes the hero of every illustrated spread, while the words can suit their age. Parents can add small details when making the book, giving familiar touches to a simple read-aloud about caring, helping and finding the way home together at bedtime or during a calm daytime cuddle.
Reading it together
- Point to the egg, the nest and the fern as you read, and name each one together.
- Pause before each part of the path and ask your toddler where your child should go next.
- Read the final nest scene slowly, then invite your child to make a quiet dinosaur peep.
Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour
Soft watercolour keeps the ferns, egg and little dinosaur warm and easy for toddlers to take in. A sidekick idea: a worried little dinosaur with a leafy hilltop nest. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.

Questions
Is this book suitable for a one-, two- or three-year-old?
This dinosaur egg adventure is planned for ages one to three, with a simple helping task, gentle scenes and a small dinosaur companion. Picture to Story adjusts the amount of text on each page according to the child’s age, so the read-aloud can feel appropriate for a younger toddler or an older one.

Start with one photo of your child, then answer a few questions about their age, chosen art style, adventure and little details. Picture to Story uses these to create a 32-page book with 15 illustrated story spreads starring your child. You can see the cover before you pay.
