Kids remember what has a hero in it. Put the volcano, the water cycle or the moon into a story with a guide and a kid to follow, and Panel & Ink writes and draws it one clear idea at a time, rated Everyone, with you reading the script before a panel is drawn.
Name the topic and the kid who will read it: a volcano, the water cycle, the moon. Say what they already know and what puzzles them. Choose Everyone as the rating on the first step.
Cosmic Krackle for space, Sunday Funnies for a cheerful guide, Ligne Claire for clean pictures of what's going on underneath. The looks that suit your premise come first.
Give the kid a model sheet from a photo, with permission, and give the topic a guide — a patient robot, an old lighthouse keeper, a talking cloud — drawn in the look.
One idea an issue. Put the facts you want kept in the comic desk's ideas box, read the script before any panel is drawn, and download the finished issue to watch together.
Press start and the premise lands in the box of a new comic with its look already picked. Change every word, or the look, before anything is drawn.
Two cousins build a cardboard rocket in the garage and somehow land on the moon, where a patient old robot explains, one crater at a time, why there's no wind, no sound, and a sky that stays black at noon.

The studio writes from your premise and your ideas, and you read every script before a panel is drawn, so a wrong fact is yours to catch and fix first. Read it the way you'd read any book you hand a kid.
Yes. Add a photo of them to their model sheet when it's yours to use, and they're drawn in the look in every panel. Accounts are for people 13 and over, so a grown-up makes the comic.
Yes. A finished issue downloads as a narrated video with music, or as its panels in a zip with the captions, and it's yours to show.
