I would like the ability to download the books and not have to use the app. I would like to share the books I am doing with others but don't like having to sign into the app on their devices for them to see it. A simple download would suffice

Barbara, how special that you're creating these for your great-granddaughter!
Four generations of love going into these books - that's something truly beautiful. We're honored to be part of that legacy you're building with her.
We'll be here whenever you're ready for the next ones. Thank you for being such a thoughtful great-grandmother!
Warmly,

This custom book helps by daughter learn about emotions but because it’s her face she’s even more motivated to read it over and over again. She loves this book!!

Reply from Magic Story
Lauren, THIS is what it's all about!
You've hit on something so important - kids can learn about emotions from any book, but when THEY'RE the one navigating those feelings in the story? Suddenly it clicks differently. The fact that she wants to read it over and over means it's not just educational, it's actually connecting with her.
That repetition is golden, by the way. Every time she reads it, those lessons about emotions are sinking in deeper.
Thank you for sharing this - it makes everything we do worthwhile!

AMAZING!
These books are absolutely AMAZING!! And the character looks just like my grandson! They even got the facial expressions spot on! I cant wait to make a full collection of these books for him. Someday he will be able to read them to HIS children and that makes me SMILE!

Melinda, this absolutely made our day! 💛
There's something so special about creating a book where the character truly LOOKS like your grandson - right down to those facial expressions that make him uniquely him. We pour so much care into getting those details just right, so hearing that we nailed it means the world to us.
And the thought of him reading these same books to his own children someday? Now you've got US smiling! That's exactly the kind of magical legacy we dream about when we create these stories - books that become treasured keepsakes passed down through generations.
Thank you for trusting us to be part of your family's story. We can't wait to help you build that collection for him!
With gratitude,

We absolutely love these books and most importantly, our son Michael who is ASD/ADHD/PDA loves his books starring himself. Also, great lessons and topics.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us Phill! Hearing that Michael loves seeing himself as the hero of his own stories truly means everything to our team.
We know that finding books that resonate with kids who experience the world differently can be challenging, and we're honored that our stories have connected with Michael. Seeing yourself reflected as capable, brave, and heroic in a book? That's powerful for ANY child, and we're so glad these adventures are working for your family.
Thank you for trusting us to be part of Michael's reading journey. We're cheering him on every step of the way!
With appreciation,
The Magic Story Team

Cammie, we LOVE this!
That moment when you first see your granddaughter as the avatar - there's something truly magical about it, isn't there? We're so glad the setup was smooth and easy, because we want you spending time smiling at those pages, not wrestling with technology!
And yes - helping kids understand and navigate their emotions is so important. We're honored these stories can be both joyful AND meaningful for your family.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Your joy made our day!
