Questions? We've got answers.

About the Book

What exactly is included in my order?
You can preview the first three chapters emailed to you almost immediately for $2.99 — perfect for reading together that same night before deciding on the full book. The complete 30-chapter story comes as a professionally printed softcover book shipped to your door within 13–15 business days.
How long is the story?
Every story is a full 30-chapter novel — the length of a real published children's book. Exact length varies by age group. It's designed to be read together over many nights, one chapter at a time, or to be read by older kiddos by themselves. Think of it as your child's very own bedtime series.
What ages is this for?
Growing Minds stories are written for children aged 3–13. The writing style, vocabulary, and themes are automatically adjusted based on your child's age — from warm, lyrical read-aloud prose for toddlers to rich middle-grade storytelling for tweens. It's always written to be enjoyed together as a family.
How is the story personalized?
We weave in your child's name, appearance (hair color, eye color), personality traits, favorite things, their hometown, their best friend or sibling, and a milestone they're currently working through — like starting school, learning to ride a bike, or making new friends. These details appear naturally throughout the story, not just bolted on. Every book is genuinely one of a kind.
Does reading about a character facing the same challenge actually help my child?
Research on bibliotherapy shows children who read about a character facing a similar challenge can gain coping insight and process their own feelings at a safe distance — though it works best alongside real support, not as a replacement for it.

Ordering & Delivery

When will I get the digital version?
If you choose the $2.99 preview, the first 3 chapters are written and emailed to you almost immediately — ready to read together that same evening. The complete 30-chapter story arrives in your printed softcover book within 13–15 business days.
How long does the printed book take?
Printed books are professionally produced and shipped within 13–15 business days to US addresses. We currently ship within the United States only.
Do you ship internationally?
Not yet — we currently ship printed books within the United States only. International shipping is on our roadmap!

Payment & Refunds

Can I get a refund?
Because every story is written uniquely for your child the moment you order — it can't be resold or reused. Like a commissioned piece of art, the work is done specifically for you. That said, if something goes wrong on our end (the email doesn't arrive, the book has a printing issue), we'll always make it right. Just email us at help@growingminds.io.
Do you offer discount codes?
Yes! If you have a discount code, enter it on the story preview page before checkout. Codes are occasionally shared through our newsletter and social media — follow us to stay in the loop.

The Story Itself

Can I preview the story before buying?
Yes — fill out the form and we'll generate a free preview of the opening of your child's story. You'll see exactly how their name, personality, and world are woven into the narrative before you decide to purchase.
Can I request changes to the story?
The story is generated fresh from the details you provide, so the best way to shape it is through the intake form — the more detail you give, the richer the story. If you're unhappy with how something came out, email us at help@growingminds.io and we'll do our best to help.
What if I want to order for multiple children?
Just place a separate order for each child — each story is completely unique. If you're ordering for more than three children, email us at help@growingminds.io and we may be able to offer a bundle discount.

About Us

Who's behind Growing Minds?
We all have kids, and like everyone, they go through good times and tough times. We've seen how reading a story about the milestone they're working through helps them think about their own lives — and paired with us actually talking with them about how they're handling it, they're able to move through it with more thought and more success.
