It’s time to spark your imagination, and create a story that only your imagination can dream up. Create your own story based on the illustrations in this book. You get to decide how the characters move throughout the story based on what you think happens in between each illustration.
The world is full of things that are creative on our behalf…for kids especially. Technology is awesome, but picking which color to auto fill a digital coloring book or flipping a digital page and having a story read to you isn't imagination. Kids need to have as many chances as possible to let their imaginations run wild, in any direction they choose.
This isn’t just another choose your own adventure, or pick which way the character heads or what he picks up, you create the story. There are several pages in between each illustration, and they are blank..well they have lines to help fit your story in, but there is no story, it’s all up to you. Are the characters good or bad? are they searching for something or are they stealing it? is it an epic adventure or a bumbling comedy of goofballs…you decide…you create…you imagine.
“The best part of flint books is that the story is completely up to the one looking at it, how they interpret the illustrations, what they think is happening, and then how they want it to go.”
— Mom of 9 & 8 year old boys
The illustrations in each book give hints or ideas of what could be happening in the story. They will give you markers along the way, but how the illustrations are interpreted can change the whole story...the illustrations are the flint, they are designed to be struck against an imagination, and from there the pages will get filled with millions of amazing stories.
Aside from the illustrations, the book is completely their creation, so we designed it accordingly. There's a place to add their own title and name on the cover, as the author. There is space on the inside cover to add the ever-so-important "about the author" info, and of course we have a space for their own spectacular headshot, and what book would be complete without a special dedication…to mom or dad, maybe the dog, a friend, brother or sister, there is space to create their own dedication in each book.
You can join the thousands of kids from all over the world who have already started creating their own stories and rediscovering their imaginations.
