How a one-of-a-kind story is made

    When I grow up, Our new baby, You and me, or I can do it! You give us the details in a few words and we write the story.

    Upload their photo and pick a style

    With a photo they appear with their real face, as an animated movie, a comic book hero or painted in classic gouache. We write and illustrate the story in minutes, and you can change any line or ask for a new drawing.

Cover
What every story brings

What makes it different

Their real face

We start from their photo: their face, their hair, their freckles, their glasses. Before you pay, you see their cover and first page, already with their face.

Their people inside, just like themselves

In an adventure with their pet or someone they love, send a photo and they appear in the book as they are, quirks and all.

Short, and made to read aloud

Every word earns its place. They have rhythm, surprises and something to laugh at, so when it ends they ask for it again.

Stories that keep them company

For what they dream of being, a new baby in the family, an adventure with their favorite person, or that thing they're working hard to do, always playful and never preachy.

They solve it their own way

Every story has a moment where your kid pulls it off with something of their own. The grown-ups cheer them on, but the win is theirs.

Wherever you are

Far from the little one? Your gift still gets there

Pay with your card from wherever you are. We print it close to their home and bring it to their door, with your dedication on the first page.

What people ask us most

Questions

Can I see the book before paying?+

Yes. You see the cover and the first page, already illustrated with their face. After you pay we finish the book and send a final proof to approve before printing.

What happens to my child's photo?+

We only use it to draw your child, and their people if you send their photos, in your book. Claude by Anthropic describes their features and the illustration service we use draws them; nobody else sees it. It is stored encrypted and deleted automatically after 10 days. We never train models on it or share it.

Which styles can you draw them in?+

As an animated movie, a comic book hero or painted in classic gouache, like the storybooks we grew up with. You pick the style before we start, and the preview shows the cover and the first page drawn with their face.

How long does delivery take?+

We print it close to their home, so it arrives anywhere from a few days to about three weeks after you approve the proof, depending on where they live. You see the date when you order, and we email you when it ships.

Can I send it from another country?+

Yes. Pay with your card from wherever you are and we deliver to their home. When you order, you see where we ship and when it arrives.

Do you use artificial intelligence?+

Yes, to write and illustrate a different book for every child. Our team reviews every book before printing, and you can change any line.

What if I don't like it?+

Ask for a new drawing of any page and edit the text before approving. If anything goes wrong in printing, we reprint it free.
