Brief

The drawing comes first. Free.

Within 2 working days we email you a drawing starring your child — free, no card needed. Only if you love it do you pay, once: a story for €9.90 (1 story · 16 pages) or a whole adventure for €24.90 (3 stories · 48 pages), as a storybook or a comic.

1Hero and book
2Story (optional)
3Where to send the drawing

1. Who is the hero, and which book?

A first name or nickname, age, comic or storybook and a few taps about their look. We never ask for a surname, address or photo.

Your child’s first name or nicknameJust what the hero should be called in the story. No surname.

Your child’s age

4567891011121314

The look was filled in from your child’s adventure — you can change it. For privacy the adventure doesn’t remember aids other than glasses: if your child chose one, add it here.

Which book?

Storybook16 pages per story · a parent reads, text below the picture · best for ages 4–5

Comic16 pages per story · panels and bubbles · from age 6

You pay only after the drawing — that’s when you also choose one story or a whole adventure. You can still change the format when you pay. See the samples ↗

Hero

Girl or boy?

This only changes how the story refers to the hero (she / he). It doesn’t limit any hairstyle or clothes. “Prefer not to say” = the story uses “they”.

So your child recognises themselves on the drawing. Just what you’d notice at first glance.

Glasses and aids

The aid belongs to the hero in every world and is never “cured” in the story. We don’t need a diagnosis. You can pick more than one — ear defenders cover the ears, so they don’t go together with a hearing aid.

For now we can draw a wheelchair only in these styles: Clear Line, Storybook, Clay, Manga and Video Game.

The hero’s aid

About the aid in the story

Choose together with your child. The story is about the adventure, not the aid.

we don’t mention it, it’s just thereit can be mentioned naturally

I am the parent or legal guardian. I agree that Ink & Brave may process which aid the hero should have, only to draw the hero in this story. I can withdraw this consent at any time. Privacy

We ask because an aid may reveal something about your child’s health. We only store what you picked from the pictures and delete it together with the order.

I want to save the hero, including the aid, for future stories (up to 12 months or until I withdraw).

Without consent we can’t draw the aid. Choose how to continue:

Anything else about their look? (optional)

2. The story — if you like

You don’t have to fill in anything: we choose the world and style by age. If you like, choose them yourself, or let your child invent the story — right here.

Drawing style What would they love to happen in the story? (optional)

Let my child invent it

Hand them the phone: they pick a world and a drawing style, build their hero and say what they want to happen (5–15 minutes). The ticket comes back here by itself and then you send the brief.

What are they like? Up to 3 (optional)

The hero will act like them, so they can recognise themselves.

Or in your own words

What are they great at?

Their strength helps them in the story — together with effort, not as a magic talent.

Interests and favourite things

A few favourite things bring the plot to life; we use the ones that serve the story.

Who belongs in their world

The people they love can have a role in the story.

Just first names or what they call them (Grandma, Dad). No surnames.

What to keep out of the story

Whatever they’re afraid of stays out of the story. If you’d rather they learn to cope with a fear, choose the “Fear and courage” topic above.

Another topic (just the topic, no reason)

Write just the topic — not the reason, a diagnosis or family circumstances. Please don’t write anything sensitive here.

I agree that a person on your team may read what to avoid and use it only to keep it out of the story. (Needed only if you choose something here.)

Would you like to gently add something that helps them? (optional)

You don’t have to. If you do, it will be tucked into the plot just enough — the hero lives it in an exciting story, without preaching, in steps that suit their age. Not sure? The guide can help. Guide by age ↗

A friend in the story (optional) Add a disabled friend — for example, one with hearing aids or ear defenders. It’s a made-up character with their own goal. We don’t ask for information about a real friend.

Which aid does the friend have?

✦Leave it to youHearing aidEar defendersArm sensorEye patchWheelchair

We make up the friend’s name, look and personality — they don’t resemble anyone real. It goes with any choice above.

What’s happening at home, in your own words (optional)It helps us choose the right steps. We won’t put it into the plot word for word, so your child doesn’t feel blamed. No names of other people, schools or addresses.

3. Where shall we send the drawing?

Your emailWe’ll send the drawing and a confirmation. No ads. Country

We don’t sell to the United Kingdom yet. Leave your email and we’ll let you know when we do.

I have a gift voucher (optional)

I consent to the processing of the brief (my email, the child’s first name or nickname and age, their choices and what I write about them) to draw the hero and make the book. What exactly happens to the data I agree to the terms. I’d like an occasional email with news (optional).

Nothing is pre-ticked. You can withdraw consent and have the data deleted at any time.
