It's Halloween night, and Simon follows a path of glowing pumpkins, meets a little ghost with muddy paws, and finds out who King Pumpkin really is.
A book where your child is the main character, and yes, they can read it all on their own!
Most picture books are written to be read to a child. These are written from the words your child has already learned to sound out, so the book is about them and they can get to the last page on their own.
Your child's version:
Addy
the Amazing Superhero
Make it fun for them!
Books inspired by your own child's imagination: reading at your child's reading level, writing, and coloring.
How it works
Create your child's profile
Tell us about your child, pick the books you want and, for reading books, their reading level. Then tap Order. No payment yet.
You get a preview
We review your order and send you a first preview of your child's character and the artwork, made for their story and reading level.
You approve, then pay
Nothing is printed until you approve the preview. Once you do, you pay by Zelle.

New look
Our new illustration style
Our new look: every child is made from cut paper, layer by layer, like a little handmade collage.
Why decodable books?
A decodable book is built so a beginning reader can truly read it: every word uses only the letter sounds your child has already learned, so they sound it out instead of guessing.
Real reading, no guessing
Early readers often guess words from the pictures. Here every word can be sounded out, so each page is real reading practice.
Confidence that grows
Getting to the last page on their own is a big deal. That feeling of "I did it!" is what makes a child reach for the next book.
Practice that builds step by step
The books follow the order sounds are usually taught: short vowels first, then letter teams, then long vowels. Each book builds on the last, so practice at home moves forward one small step at a time.
Pink, Blue and Green
The books follow a structured reading sequence, organized under the color names families already know. Which one fits depends less on age than on where your child is with reading.
Pink
cat pup mud
Short vowels and three-letter words. One short sentence a page. Often around age four.
Available now
Blue
ship duck jump
Letters start to team up, and the vowels are still short. One or two sentences a page. Often ages five and six.
Ready now
Green
cake rain rocket
Long vowels and longer words, in three stages that build up to short chapters.

More than learning to read
These books are about helping your child fall in love with learning. When the story comes from their own imagination and they see themselves on every page, reading stops being homework and becomes something they can't wait to do, especially with someone who loves them sitting right beside them.
Wonderful for parents and for grandparents, too. An easy, meaningful way for abuelos and abuelas to be part of their grandchild's learning.
Every reading book includes:
- A reading guide. A simple page at the front shows you how to walk through the book with your child, even if you've never taught reading.
- Easy-to-read sentences. Every sentence is written for your child's reading level, so they can read it on their own.
- A reading comprehension section. Questions for each page at the back help your child reflect on what they read and turn the story into a conversation.

More books starring your child
The reading book is the heart of it, but it doesn't have to stop there. The writing book and the coloring book are made just for your child too, with the same character you create below on every page.
Coloring book · $18Built around what they love
The coloring book
From Simon's Adventures: Simon and his cat Amokete take a trip to the moon.
Each coloring book follows your child's own interests. If they love race cars, the ocean, dinosaurs or outer space, that's where their adventures go. Their character is the hero of every page, along with their pets and favorite stuffed animals, and each page has a short sentence they can read on their own, in English and Spanish for bilingual books.
Writing workbook · $28Their name, their letters
The writing book
From Simon Learns to Write, his own cursive workbook.
A handwriting workbook that feels like their own book. It starts with tracing warm-ups, practices every letter in uppercase and lowercase, and ends with the best page of all: writing their own name. Their character is right there on every page cheering them on, with instructions in English and Spanish. About 90 pages. No reading level needed: it works for any child learning their letters.
The details you share help us make them. What your child loves to do, what they pretend to be, their pets and their favorite stuffed animal all shape the story, the coloring pages and the writing book.

What do the levels mean?
How the books are made
Made for practice
These books are for practicing at home, with a parent, a nanny or a grandparent beside them. The best part is your child can read every page on their own.
Every word is chosen
Each story is checked word by word against its reading level before it's printed. Your child's name is the one word that's always allowed.
Made by hand, in small batches
Every book is printed and put together by hand, about fifteen every three weeks, so we can give you a real date.
Hi, I'm Ale.
I'm a mom in Florida, raising my son in English and Spanish. When he started learning to read, I wanted books he could read all by himself, and that felt like they were really about him. So I made the first ones for him, with him as the hero.
I also wanted to be a real help to him at home, not just the one turning the pages. Reading together turned into one of our favorite moments: he laughs at his own adventures, points at his name, and can't wait to find out what he does next. When children see themselves as the hero of the story, reading stops feeling like a chore and becomes something they ask for.
That's how Little Evergreen Studio was born. My wish is simple: that more children get to feel the pride of reading a whole book on their own, with someone they love right beside them.

Questions
How does ordering work?
Create your child's profile below, pick your books and, for reading books, the reading level, then tap Order. We review it and send you a first preview of your child's character and the artwork. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
How do I pay?
By Zelle to 954-478-7592, only after you approve the preview. There's no payment on the website.
Will my child look exactly like the preview in the form?
No. The preview only helps us learn your child's features. We design a custom character, an approximation of your child based on what you tell us, and send you a preview to approve.
Which reading level should I choose?
Pink is short vowels and three-letter words, Blue is letters that team up, Green is long vowels and longer words. If you're not sure, choose "Not sure" and we'll help you. Only reading books have a level; the writing workbook and the coloring book don't need one.
What are the combos?
There are two. The complete set (a reading book, a writing workbook and a coloring book) is $65 instead of $71. The reading bundle is two or more reading books in any mix of levels: 2 for $45, 3 for $65, and $20 for each extra.
English or bilingual?
Your choice, same price. Bilingual books are English first, with the Spanish underneath for the grown-up reading along: a parent, a nanny or a grandparent.
How long does it take?
Every book is made by hand, about fifteen every three weeks. You'll get a real date with your preview.
