Personalised superhero book about helping friends: Super your child and the Broken Playground

What happens in Super your child and the Broken Playground

1. Your child finds the playground’s ramp, roundabout and quiet corner need help.
2. Super strength does not solve the problems, so your child opens a notebook.
3. Children share what would make each part easier and more enjoyable to use.
4. Your child sorts the suggestions into a clever plan and gets everyone involved.
5. The repaired playground opens for games, chats and new ways to play together.

How the first page could read

On Saturday morning, your child pulled on a bright cape and hurried to the neighbourhood playground. The roundabout was stuck, the ramp was wobbly and the quiet corner had nowhere to sit. “This needs more than super strength,” said your child, opening a notebook for everyone’s ideas.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

Children aged five to seven often enjoy a superhero story that makes room for thinking, listening and practical teamwork. Your child is not asked to lift everything alone: they notice what is tricky, ask children what would help and bring the ideas together. The playground gives the adventure a familiar, lively setting, while the mission has clear, satisfying problems to solve. Details supplied by parents can make your child’s cape, favourite playground activity or helpful kit feel at home in the pictures. Picture to Story turns one photo into a 32-page book with 15 illustrated story spreads, with wording that grows for the child’s age.

Reading it together

• Ask your child which playground problem they would solve first and why.
• Pause when the children share suggestions, then invite your child to add an idea of their own.
• After reading, make a simple list together of kind and practical ways to help at a local play space.

Suggested art style: Animated film

The animated film style gives your child a bold, expressive superhero look while keeping the playground details clear and welcoming. A sidekick idea: a practical robin carrying sticky notes. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
