  1. Start with their idea

    Share the monster your child drew.

    Take a clear photo of the whole drawing. Crayon, marker, pencil, and wonderfully odd details are all welcome.

  2. Meet the two stars

    See their monster and your child come to life.

    We bring the drawing to life as a storybook character, then create a child character to share the adventure. You can use a photo or build the child character yourself.
