Select the pages to include in your story
This step is about picking the main events of your child’s birth story that you want to be included in their book. We’re not quite ready to flesh out the details yet- that’ll be the next stage. Think of it like a rough timeline sketch, highlighting the key moments
Please select at least 6 items.
Add special details to your story by answering the questions relating to each page
This is the step where we add the details and special memories that show how loved your child is. The preview is there to help you remember what page you are writing for. However, the details you add won’t be reflected on the preview just yet. You’ll have to wait to get to Step 5 for that- when there, we’ll generate for you the complete product.
What you write will be added to the page. You will be able to see how this will look at the Preview stage.
