Power into action
Maya can see missing sounds as glowing ribbons. She first spots a turquoise trail beneath a plaza bench. At the rooftop wind harp, she uses her sound cuffs to sort one ribbon and bring back the first bell.
Because the same ability appears in each scene, Maya’s power affects the plot rather than only the costume.
Shown here: the opening and an early turning point, not the ending.


Start with the child
Notices tiny sounds
Sees lost sounds as trails when the city’s morning goes quiet.
Loves redrawing maps
Bends light into paths when two gardens become disconnected.
Talks to plants
Hears what the moon flowers need before they will open.
Repairs moving things
Pauses one wheel long enough to secure a wind-bent bridge.
Choose the right format
One existing hero
Best when the child wants one specific hero and story world.
A plot that is already set
Best when you want to inspect an established story before ordering.
Create from scratch with Tippytale
Best when the child’s own power, mission, and setting are the point.
Draw every page
Best when making the panels is the activity.
Begin with the child and a power they would enjoy. Add supporting people or pets as you create, and read the complete book free before deciding whether to order it.
