From one photo to a book that lasts
We never print a book you haven't seen. Here's the whole journey, from the moment you choose a story to the package arriving at your door.
Four steps. That's it.
1 · Choose the story
Browse the shop by your child's age or the occasion. Every story is written for a particular milestone.
2 · Personalize it
Your child's name, a clear photo of their face, and a dedication you write for the first page.
3 · Review the proof
Within 24 hours of your order, you'll get a PDF of the full book. Ask for any changes — we don't print until you approve.
4 · Receive your book
We print and ship within 2 to 4 business days, gift-wrapped, and shipping is free.
The character
We illustrate your child — we don't paste in a photo
We start from one photo of their face and build a fully illustrated character from it — hair, eye color, even glasses if they wear them. That character appears on every page of the book, not just the cover.
The specs, no exaggeration
- Size: About 8×8 in (20×20 cm), glossy hardcover.
- Paper: 170 gsm, thick enough that little fingers won't tear it.
- Pages: 24 to 32 full-color pages, depending on the story.
- Language: English, in warm, simple sentences made for reading aloud. Your child's name is on the cover and throughout the story.
- Price: From $34.99, shipping included.
Questions about making and printing
How many photos do I need to send?
One clear photo of the face in natural light is enough. If you send more than one, we'll pick the clearest. A phone photo is perfectly fine.
Can I change the text after I see the proof?
Yes. Ask us to change the name, the dedication or any detail in the illustrations, and we'll do it before printing. One round of changes is included in the price.
How long does the whole process take?
The digital proof — a PDF of the full book — arrives within 24 hours of your order. Printing and shipping take 2 to 4 business days after you approve it. Delivery to the US then takes 10 to 14 days.
Is shipping really free?
Yes, to every destination, with no extra charges when it arrives. The price you see is the price you pay.
Can I order for more than one child?
Yes. The Family Pack includes three books for three different children, delivered together to one address for less than buying each book on its own.
