What happens in Super your child Saves Sports Day

  1. A gust of wind scatters the sports-day equipment.
  2. Your child spots the first problem: runaway beanbags by the track.
  3. Friends work with your child to gather hoops, ribbons and markers.
  4. Your child finds a clever way to reset the finish line.
  5. Sports day begins, with everyone ready to join in.

How the first page could read

Sports Day was ready: beanbags by the hoops, ribbons by the track and a bright finish line across the field. Then whoosh went the wind. “Super your child, can you help?” called the teacher. Your child fastened their cape, looked carefully at the muddle and said, “Let’s start with one thing.”

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

Why this story works

Sports day gives your child a busy but recognisable setting: a track, hoops, ribbons and friends who need practical help. Rather than one giant rescue, the plot lets your child notice what has gone wrong, choose a sensible next step and invite friends to join in. The superhero cape adds playfulness while the solutions stay grounded in teamwork, listening and looking after the event. It suits children aged five to seven, with a lively school-day pace and clear moments to pause over each new task. Picture to Story turns one photo of your child into the illustrated hero across a 32-page book with 15 story spreads.

Reading it together

  • Before reading, ask your child what sports-day job they would choose first.
  • Pause after each problem and let your child suggest a helpful next step.
  • Use the final spread to chat about ways friends can make sure everyone gets a turn.

Suggested art style: Animated film

The animated film style gives Super your child's cape, speedy movement and busy sports field a bright, energetic feel. A sidekick idea: a quick-thinking friend with a whistle. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.

Questions

How does the book become personalised?

You upload one photo of your child and answer a few questions about their name, age, chosen art style, adventure and little details. Picture to Story uses these to create a 32-page book in which your child is the illustrated lead. You can see the cover free before you pay.

Is this superhero story right for a five- to seven-year-old?

Yes. Its school sports-day setting and small, practical problems suit the suggested age range of five to seven. Your child is brave without needing to fight, and friends help with each task. When ordering, the words on each page are adjusted to the child’s age.

Can I see the book before I pay?

Yes. Your child’s cover and the first page of the story are made while you answer the questions, usually in under a minute, and you see them before checkout. You only pay if you love it.

How long does it take?

The digital book is usually ready about 10 minutes after you order. Printed books take 3 to 5 working days to print, then 3 to 7 days to post in the UK and US.
