Your child spots their house from the sky, chooses their route, and finds the solution. Their little plane is at the heart of a real mission, with heartwarming surprises or a fun rivalry depending on their age.

All four adventures have real progression and a planned ending. In ten or twenty chapters, the journey keeps its thread: every detour brings a clue, a discovery, or a moment of laughter.

№ 02b · The book up close

A little yellow plane, fields seen from above, and a mission to complete. Your child takes off on an adventure where their observation skills, choices and humour make all the difference.

Your child climbs into their little yellow plane. Ahead of them, the runway opens onto fields, a river winds its way through bends, and the village rooftops shrink to tiny dots. In My Little Airplane, they're the pilot: they're the one observing, choosing their direction, and discovering what lies beyond the next hill.

This personalized plane book puts centre stage the moments young plane enthusiasts love to imagine: take-off, the view from above, radio chatter, and landing back on the runway. Your child keeps their own aircraft throughout the story. The illustrations alternate between their face at the controls, sweeping landscapes, and encounters on the ground. Their name and appearance, based on the photos you share with us, make them the hero of this adventure.

A duckling waits near the airfield: while the keeper watches over it, your child searches for its family from the sky. Geese, duck-shaped pedal boats and a hidden pond hold some heartwarming surprises. You can also choose the red hot air balloon: vanished behind a hill, it must be spotted among the rooftops and tractors. Once the balloon is found, your child helps its crew reach the right field.

The little planes' race pits your child against a boastful pilot. Three landmarks to spot and a finish line on the far shore of the lake give the competition its edge: observation makes all the difference. In the other story, a pilot radios in from an unfamiliar meadow. He's landed safely and is fine, but can't say exactly where he is. A train heard but not seen becomes the key clue to finding him.

The 10-chapter version keeps the mission, the main surprises and the ending. The 20-chapter version expands on the search, the false leads and the helpful encounters along the way. Every detour sets up a discovery; the reunion, the victory or the thank-yous bring the chosen story to its close.

The loved ones you add can cheer your child on from the ground or chat with them over the radio. But at the controls, they fly solo in their little plane. Our creative team tailors the words, humour and pace to their age, so the book keeps that sense of take-off and the joy of discovering what happens next, together.

№ 05 · FAQs

The most common questions about My Little Airplane — answered honestly, with nothing left out.

Is my child really the pilot?

Yes. In this story, your child flies solo at the controls of their little plane. The loved ones you add can cheer them on from the ground or chat with them over the radio.

Which stories can I choose based on my child's age?

For ages 3-5, choose between the duckling to reunite with its family or the red hot air balloon to track down. For ages 6-8, your child takes part in a navigation race or searches for a plane that's already landed in a meadow.

What's different about the 20-chapter version?

It expands on the same mission with more searching, false leads and discoveries. Both formats keep the same storyline and the same ending.

What are the delivery times?

Our express delivery takes 8 days within mainland UK — the safe option if you need the book by a specific date. Standard delivery takes 10 to 15 working days when there's no rush. In a real hurry? The digital version (PDF) is ready within 24 hours of your order being confirmed. For international deliveries, allow extra time depending on the destination. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships. Any questions? Drop us a line at hello@realbigstories.com.

What size is the book, and how many pages does it have?

The book is A4 landscape format (29.7 × 21 cm when closed) — perfect for reading together side by side or laying flat on a table. The standard version has 10 illustrated chapters, plus an introduction and conclusion, coming to around 28 pages in total. The long version is nearly twice that, with 20 chapters and roughly 48 pages. Each chapter features a full-page illustration paired with text tailored to your child's age.

What's the print and paper quality like?

Printed on thick, premium matte paper. The hardcover is sturdy and the same high quality across all age ranges. The binding is sewn and glued to last — this is a book built to be read a hundred times, not to gather dust at the back of a drawer.

Can I make changes after placing my order?

Yes — as long as your book hasn't gone to print yet, which is usually within the first few hours after ordering. Get in touch as quickly as possible at hello@realbigstories.com with your order number and the change you need (a misspelled name, a photo to swap, a character to adjust). Once printing has started, we're unable to make any further changes.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

If something isn't right — a printing defect, a quality issue, or an illustration that doesn't look like your child — contact us as soon as possible after receiving your order at hello@realbigstories.com. We'll either reprint or give you a full refund, no questions asked. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, we make it right.

Are my photos and personal data safe?

Yes — your photos are used only to create the book. They're never shared, never sold, never used for anything else, and you can delete them anytime from your account or by simply asking us. All our providers (hosting, illustration generation, payment, printing) are fully GDPR-compliant.

How much can I personalize the book?

Far beyond just the name. Your child's face is illustrated from your photos, and appears on every page. You also choose the story world, the plot, the characters around them (family, friends, pet) and the little details of appearance. The book stays fully editable until you approve the preview: you read through the text, request any changes, and printing only starts once you're happy.
