First Day in a New Classroom
New teacher, new room, new place for the bag. See a real 14-page story that walks a child through every variable of the morning — and how to ask for a break when it gets loud.
See the first-day guide →It's the question every parent asks. Here's our honest answer — with examples.
Most visual stories don't land because children can't see themselves in them. A cartoon character or stock photo child isn't their dentist, their school bag, or their front door. When a story features your child's own face, their name, and the specific details of their day, something shifts. They stop watching the story from the outside and start rehearsing it from the inside. That's what Lionmain is built to do.

Each one shows you what a personalised story covers for a specific situation — and how your child can step in as the main character.
Every example is delivered as both a printable PDF and a play-anywhere video.

Lionmain was created by Maysa, a mum of an autistic child, after spending too many evenings drawing social stories by hand. When her son finally saw himself in a story — his face, his name, his actual school bag — he engaged with it differently. That moment is what this tool is built to recreate for your family.
Your first story is free. No subscription, no commitment — just describe the situation, upload a photo, and see what your child does when they see themselves as the brave main character.
