# Sharing Is Caring, your child as the hero

Sharing is easier to read about than to do. This is a book about the moment it clicks — your child has the best crayons, a friend has none, and they work out that sharing makes the picture better.

## The story, page by page

This is the whole story as it stands. In your book, every “Ravi” becomes your child’s name.

1. Ravi had a box of the brightest crayons.
2. A friend wanted to draw too, but had none.
3. Ravi thought for a moment, then smiled.
4. “Let’s share,” said Ravi. And they drew together.
5. Sharing made the picture — and the day — even better.

## How your child stays the hero

“Sharing Is Caring” only works if the hero is unmistakably your child — kindness, the same face on every page. Most AI books lose the character by page three: a new face, new hair, a different child. Once Books locks your child’s face and hair before any page is drawn, so they are the same child from the cover to the last page. See [how it works](https://www.oncebooks.com/how-it-works), what happens to [your child’s photo](https://www.oncebooks.com/child-safety), or flip through a [real sample book](https://www.oncebooks.com/examples).

## Common questions

**Whose face is in “Sharing Is Caring”?**

Your child’s. You add a few photos and a name; we lock their face and hair before a single page is drawn, so the child on the cover is the child on the last page.

**Can I change the words in “Sharing Is Caring”?**

Yes. The story is a starting point, not a script — edit any page, or let the studio draft new lines. The name “Ravi” in the sample becomes your child’s name in your book.

**Is it really free to see?**

Yes. You can see the cover and the first page with your child’s face for free, with no account. The finished book is a paid, print-ready download.

**How long is the finished book?**

16 pages, ready in about 6 minutes, as a print-ready PDF you approve page by page.
