Lou's book
Chapter 3
Lou and Biscuit go to the lighthouse
That Saturday it was raining on the beach. Lou put on her red raincoat, Biscuit barked twice, and off they went to see the lighthouse. There were a hundred and twelve steps. Lou counted them. Biscuit didn't.
Told by Lou, written down with Dad
17For now, for later
The book they'll keep all their life.
Their photos, finally sorted
The year they turned six, their holidays, their birthday: the best photos, in order, with a line for each.
Their words, kept forever
“Why does the moon follow us?” What they say at six, you'll have forgotten by ten. The book won't.
Comic pages with them as the hero
A little story from their day, told in four photo panels, with speech bubbles you write together.
To read together at bedtime
A real, sturdy book to leaf through with them. And a copy for Grandma and Grandpa.
The app
Their book, all year long.
A photo, something your child said, and it's in. When an adventure deserves more, their photos become a comic page.

How many pages for this memory?
Layout
Comic pages
A comic page, straight from their day.
From your photos and what your child tells you, Pizan lays out a page: four panels, their photos, and the speech bubbles you write together.
Another adventure
Two pages, their photos in panels.
Every adventure becomes a page of four photo panels: the walk to the lighthouse, the cake for Grandma. You write the speech bubbles together.
And games for their age
Word searches and arrow-word puzzles with the family's names, "who said what?", a quiz, spot-the-difference on one of their photos.
Bedtime
The book they ask for before sleep.
A real, sturdy hardback you read together. After three nights, they know every speech bubble by heart.
Sharing
Share it with the people who love them.
With the family
A photo, something they said: the grandparents see it in the family's private feed.
The Sunday gazette
Every week, their news by email for grandparents who never open an app.
Grandparents add to it
Their photos, their memories: everything ends up in the book.
No app needed
A link is all it takes to look and reply from the browser.
A copy for everyone
Grandpa, Grandma, the godmother: everyone orders their own.
Nothing public
Their photos stay in the family.

Questions
You might be wondering…
What age is it for?
From birth for photos and first words. The comics and games work best from 3 to 10.
Is it really my child in the comic?
Yes, in their own photos: every panel is a real picture of them. You see every page before printing, and you decide whether it goes in the book.
Who writes the speech bubbles?
You do, together with your child. It's often the best part.
Can I add their drawings?
Yes: photograph them and they go in the book as a page.
Can the grandparents get a copy?
Yes. Everyone orders their own, delivered to their door; cheaper from 3 copies.
How much does it cost?
Starting is free. You pay for the printed book when you order it.
