Your Virtual World's Campfire Tale Series stories are designed to challenge and improve reading skills while building self-esteem. High self-esteem helps kids, teens, and adults confidently plow through tough challenges. We've selected story themes that increase broad cultural awareness and appreciation as all of us grow into an increasingly globalized world in which there are undeniably real winners and losers. Even children compete for slots in gifted programs and top middle schools. Literacy is the foundation for further learning. If a nation or people can't compete on cheap abundant labor or cheap capital, the ideas and innovations of the well educated are paramount and raw material for those ideas and innovations stems from acquired learning and experience. A Japanese proverb states, "There are no national frontiers to learning".

Mostly, our stories are meant to be just plain fun to read and share. We desire to promote the love of learning as we're able. A child who loves to read is well on the way to academic success. Getting kids interested in reading has many benefits, and if you can do it while they enjoy themselves, then all the better. An affordable, well chosen personalized animated story is the perfect gift to excite and create an interest in reading and a great head start in life. Just give our personalized animated story to the excited child (or adult) and watch the face light up as he or she becomes the star of the show. When choosing a gift for children it is always important to find something exciting. If you are trying to find something educational as well to give a child assistance and support in a hotly competitive world, the options are greatly reduced. Put yourself or somebody special in that starring role by ordering an immortalizing keepsake story from us that your recipient will keep and treasure for life.

Fireside Theater stories are tiny tales told by animated story tellers and celebrate the ancient oral tradition of storytelling practiced at a time when no batteries were required. They are free to watch for our worldwide audience of story lovers. Unlike the Campfire Tale Series of stories, they cannot be personalized, downloaded, or serve as reading exercises for developing readers. They are presented back to the world that birthed them in order to share in and preserve the long cultural history enshrined in stories that mankind has collectively created and nourished over many generations on earth.

Your Virtual World publishes a series of personalized children's stories that pass on the storytelling traditions of many cultures throughout human history. Clearly, mankind's young and old have been telling and enjoying real and imagined stories very long before recorded history.  Stories satisfy some primal needs in people everywhere. Your Virtual World's carefully written and beautifully animated series of stories tell both familiar and undiscovered tales. We will personalize your chosen story throughout and make it absolutely unique to your chosen recipient. You can customize the "star's" male or female body styles as well as male or female hairstyles for just the right look. We attempt to closely match the skin tone of the avatar we create for you based upon the photo you provide. See Frequently Asked Questions page. (FAQ) The breathtakingly true likeness of your chosen recipient as well as the name you provide of the recipient will be woven into a highly customized version of the selected story and delivered as a personalized animation and an accompanying full color and printable (PDF) ebook.
