There are four key concepts that frame stories and the ‘recipes’ for mak-ing them: process, product, format and content. In terms of process, this textbook focuses on stories that support children’s reading for pleasure. That means that I describe story ideas and story-making apps that are designed to support children’s enjoyment of stories, motivation to read and identity as a reader. In terms of products, this textbook focuses on children’s storybooks. That means that I highlight stories captured in writing, images or sound. Stories shared orally are an important prede-cessor of storybooks (indeed that is how we started sharing stories), but are not the focus of this book. In terms of format, this textbook focuses on children’s digital storybooks. This means that I foreground stories availa-ble on various kinds of screens, including mobile (tablets, smartphones) and static screens (desktop computers). In terms of content, this textbook focuses on personalised digital books. This means that the central point of the book is personalisation, and personalised digital books made by children or their relatives or teachers or by librarians or other community members. The content of these stories is determined by these individual groups of people, so the best way to describe it is to say that it is person-alised, unique and authentic, to them.
