How the first page could read
At the nursery door, your child held Mum’s hand and looked at the busy room. There were blocks on the rug, paint pots by the window and a little coat hook waiting. “See you later,” said Mum. Your child took a breath, waved, and stepped inside.
Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.
Why this story works
For a child aged two to four, the nursery-door goodbye can be the biggest part of the day. This 32-page personalised picture book keeps that moment clear and manageable: your child arrives, uses a repeatable farewell phrase, gets busy with recognisable nursery activities, then sees their parent again at collection. The 15 illustrated story spreads give families useful details to talk through, from hanging up a coat to choosing an activity and sharing what happened later. Made from a photo of your child, the story places your child at the centre of a routine they may be about to begin or are still getting used to.
Reading it together
- Read the goodbye page together before nursery and choose a short farewell phrase you can use at the door.
- Pause at the nursery-play scenes and ask your child which activity they might like to try first.
- Read the final collection page after nursery and invite your child to tell you one thing from their own day.
Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour
Soft watercolour scenes make the nursery room, familiar streets and collection-time cuddle feel warm and recognisable. A sidekick idea: a small robin who appears at each part of the routine. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.

Questions
Can this personalised story help us talk about nursery drop off before your child starts?
Yes. The story gives you simple, concrete moments to discuss together: getting ready, arriving at the door, saying goodbye, choosing an activity and being collected afterwards. You can read it in the days before nursery, then return to the same pages as your child becomes familiar with the routine.
What details can be personalised in your child Says See You Later?
You can share your child’s name, age and a photo, then answer a few questions about the adventure and little details. Choose from storybook watercolour, animated film, bold cartoon or coloured pencil artwork, and see the cover before you pay.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. Your child’s cover and the first page of the story are made while you answer the questions, usually in under a minute, and you see them before checkout. You only pay if you love it.
How long does it take?
The digital book is usually ready about 10 minutes after you order. Printed books take 3 to 5 working days to print, then 3 to 7 days to post in the UK and US.
