The journey, scene by scene
Every copy of The Whispering Forest follows these 13 scenes in order. The scenes are fixed — the words are written for your child, and their hero is drawn into every one.
- a sunlit forest trailhead with arching trees
- a dappled dirt path under tall trees
- a shallow stream with stepping stones
- a mossy clearing lit by sunbeams
- a giant hollow oak tree
- a glowing ring of mushrooms
- a low branch with an owl silhouette
- a rickety log bridge over a ravine
- berry bushes in warm light
- a hilltop overlooking the woods
- a fox den entrance with a family of foxes
- a golden trail leading home
- a cottage door with string lights
How your child becomes the hero
You enter a first name, an age and pronouns, then design a cartoon avatar — skin, hair, outfit and more. That exact character is drawn into all 13 pages by code, so the hero on the first page is identical on the last. No photo uploads, ever.
The words are written fresh for your child: an AI language model writes the book’s title and one line of story text per scene — and nothing else. The artwork is pre-drawn, the scenes are fixed, and no image-generation AI is involved. The same story is also available as a coloring book, drawn as line art to fill in.
