Your child's words become a real, printed book
DKK Publishing turns the story your child writes into a professionally printed book with their name on the cover. Free to register - you only pay when you choose a book package.
Hi! I'm Bright Spark - I'll be your child's writing buddy while they create their very own book!
Choose between four different heroes.
Your child picks a hero after choosing a theme — that hero appears on every page of their book.

A real book, written by your child
The Mr Bright Spark Book Kit will enable a child to create his or her very own professionally published book which can be sold and distributed.
This astonishing achievement will focus them, create a sense of pride and open their minds to possibilities and opportunities.
Continued use will lead to the development of exceptional writing skills, critical thinking, and future leaders.
Each book will be allocated an ISBN number (International Standard Book Number). The publishing and ISBN number will allow the book to be marketed and sold (online etc.), and the child will earn royalties for every book sold.
This will expose the child to entrepreneurship at an early age and drive them to create and market their very own book / book collection.
