I actually just finished final revisions (for my agent) on a meta picture book entitled, TOO TIRED TO TELL A STORY. Good to know these are growing in popularity. I’ve always enjoyed these fourth-wall (page!?) breaking books.
Anyway, I tried the generator and the result was:

Hopefully that holds true for my own book.
Best Wishes,
Joseph
