How it works

You send a few details. We write, draw and check the book. You get a PDF.

  1. Pick a story

    Browse the shelf by age or theme. Each story page shows sample pages in all three styles, and you can type your child's name to see the cover change.

  2. Tell us about your child

    First name, age, one to three clear photos, and a few things they love. Add a second child if the book is for two.

  3. Choose a look and a plot

    Pick gouache, watercolour or paper cut. Then pick one of three story directions. The words are written around your child's name and interests.

  4. See the first pages free

    In a few minutes you can read the cover and the first four spreads. If a face is off or a detail is wrong, edit and try again.

  5. Unlock the full book

    Pay once. We finish all 12 spreads, a person on our team checks every page, and we email you the PDF.

Try it: turn the pages. Words sit on the picture itself.

Photos that work well

The character is drawn from your photos, so a clear face makes a better likeness.

Do

  • Show the whole face, looking roughly at the camera
  • Use daylight or a bright room
  • Send two or three photos from different angles
  • Pick photos taken in the last few months

Avoid

  • Sunglasses, masks, or hands covering the face
  • Group photos where your child is small
  • Heavy filters or face-swap effects
  • Blurry or very dark photos

What we check before you get it

The likeness

Does the character look like the same child on every page? Hair, skin tone, and age should stay consistent.

The words

Is the name spelled right, and does every sentence read well aloud? The text must also sit clearly on the picture.

The pictures

No odd hands, no strange objects, nothing that does not belong in a children's book.
