MengWorks is a brand-new studio — the reviews below are illustrative samples while our first families finish their first books.
How It Works
From photo to a full preview in three little steps — most previews are ready before the kettle boils.
Pick a story
Browse series for courage, feelings, holidays and the stars. Every story is written to be re-cast with a new hero — yours.
Add your child
Name, age and one clear photo, so the illustrations look like them. Write a one-line dedication and it becomes the very first page.
Read together tonight
Your preview is ready in minutes; the finished flipbook is delivered to your email, with read-aloud narration — on the phone in a car seat, a tablet at grandma's, anywhere.
Story Collections
Series written for the moments kids are actually living — first braveries, big feelings, holidays and beyond.
Ollie the Dream GuideMeet Your Dream Guide
Every MengWorks book is walked by Ollie, a small owl with a lantern who lives in the margins of the story. Ollie appears on the dedication page, cheers from the corners of tricky scenes, and asks the gentle questions that get kids talking after the last page — so the story keeps working long after bedtime.
One guide, every adventure: children who read with Ollie meet a familiar friend in each new book.

Sample reviews — illustrative examples shown while we collect our first families' real ones.
“My daughter gasped when she saw herself on the first page — then made me read it three more times. The read-aloud voice means I can rest mine on the long drives.”
“The feelings story gave us words for the wobbly days. Ollie asking questions at the end has become our little ritual.”
“I wrote the dedication in about ten seconds and cried at the preview anyway. Sent the club version to my sister for her twins.”
