Your child becomes the hero of a book that’s all their own

From your photo a book is born with your child on every page — the same face, the same character, a story that stays with them for good.

How a book is made

Five simple steps, and the book is ready to download or print.

Upload photos

A few clear photos of your child — so the character stays the same on every page.

Tell the story

Our director asks a few questions, and together you shape the plot, the hero’s name and a dedication.

We illustrate

Every page is painted in the style you chose, with your child at the heart of the adventure.

You approve

Review the pages and tweak the words or the art until it is exactly what you wanted.

Download or print

A digital book ready to share — and if you like, a bound printed copy that arrives at your door.

In every book

The same character on every page

Your child stays consistent through the whole book — the same face, the same character, from the first page to the last.

One illustration style

Pick one style — watercolour, soft cartoon, a classic storybook and more — and it carries across the whole book.

A name and a dedication

Your hero’s name on the cover, and a personal dedication that stays with them for good.

Edit without pressure

Keep editing the story and the pictures after payment too, with no time limit — we only send it to print once you approve.

What it costs

Pay once, by the number of pages in the book. A bound printed copy can be added.

Common questions

How long does it take to make a book?

The story and a draft of the pages are ready within minutes. Fully illustrating a book usually takes a few hours, and we email you the moment it is ready to approve.

Which photos work best?

Clear, sharp photos, the face toward the camera and in good light. A few angles of the same child help us keep the character consistent through the book.

How do you keep my child looking the same on every page?

From your photos we build a fixed character description and pass it into every page along with the previous page — so the face and the character stay consistent from start to finish.

Which illustration styles can I choose?

Soft watercolour, a rounded friendly cartoon, a classic hand-painted storybook, crayon and paper-cut. You choose one style for the book, and it carries across every page.
