Personalized Children's Books in Danish
Dansk
For Danish families, whether in Copenhagen, Aarhus or Odense, or raising children in London, Hamburg or New York, Danish often lives in the stories read aloud at bedtime and at weekends with farmor and farfar. A picture book in Danish where your own child is the hero gives a young reader a reason to pick up a Danish book again and again.
At Joonoo.art you upload a photo, choose a theme and one of 15 illustration styles, and we write and illustrate an original story starring your child. Bring in brothers, sisters, parents, or mormor, morfar, farmor and farfar if you like, up to five people in one book. With Danish as the story language, the whole book is written in Danish, from the title to the last page, with æ, ø and å in place. Names stay exactly as you type them.
The sample below, Efterår i kolonihaven, follows a girl and her little brother through an autumn day at their grandparents' allotment garden: apples and pears in the wheelbarrow, a big snail on a cabbage leaf, a pile of leaves to jump in, and rye bread and hot cocoa in the little wooden house while the rain drums on the roof. It was written in Danish from the first page. Every book starts with a free preview, then you choose a digital PDF or a printed book.
A sample book in Danish
Freja og Aksel løber om kap hen til lågen ind til kolonihaven. Hele haven er dækket af et gyldent tæppe af efterårsblade, der knaser under deres støvler.
Farfar henter trillebøren og peger op i træerne, der bugner af frugt. Ivrigt plukker de modne æbler og pærer, til trillebøren er helt fuld.
Aksel knæler i den fugtige jord og graver forsigtigt de sidste gulerødder op. Pludselig kalder han hviskende på Freja: På et kålblad kravler en kæmpe snegl langsomt af sted.
Nu skal bladene rives sammen, og Farfar giver dem hver en rive. Bunken vokser sig højere og højere, og de griner, når vinden blæser bladene væk igen.
Med et stort sats hopper de begge lige ned i den bløde bunke. Bladene kilder dem i ansigtet, og de forsvinder helt i et hav af farver.
Pludselig begynder det at regne, og de løber alt, hvad de kan, hen til det lille træhus. De når lige indenfor, før de store dråber begynder at tromme på taget.
Farmor skænker varm kakao, og de spiser deres rugbrødsmadder, mens regnen siler ned ad ruden. Inde i det lille hus er der lunt og hyggeligt.
Da solen titter frem igen, cykler de hjem med kurvene fyldt til randen med æbler. Senere dufter hele køkkenet af æblekage, som de har hjulpet Farmor med at lave.
