Personalised books for siblings, one for each child

One child per book, by design

Each book is drawn from one child’s photo, and that child is the hero on all 15 illustrated spreads. We don’t squeeze two children into one book, because likeness is the whole point: a parent should recognise each child at a glance on every page, and that works best with one hero per story.

So a sibling set is two (or three, or four) books, each made for one child. Their names go in the titles, their faces on the covers, and the story length follows each child’s age, so a two-year-old gets short rhythmic lines and an older brother or sister gets a proper plot.

Making the books match

Pick the same art style and the same world for each book, say Dinosaur Valley in storybook watercolour, and choose a different adventure for each child. In Dinosaur Valley one child can return a lost egg while the other befriends a shy young dinosaur. The books look like a series, and nobody has the same story.

You can also make each child the other’s helper in spirit: choose ‘their best friend’ as the helper and mention the sibling in the dedication, such as ‘For Leo, from your big sister Ava’.

Every extra book is 20% off

Once you have ordered one book, every extra book for your family is 20% off automatically, so a sibling set costs less than buying the books separately at full price. Each child can have the digital book, a paperback or a hardcover; see pricing for the current prices in your currency.

Big brother and big sister books

The most common sibling book of all is the one for the older child when a new baby arrives. While everyone is cooing over the baby, a book that makes the big brother or big sister the hero gives them something that is theirs alone. Choose ‘being kind’ or ‘sharing’ as the lesson and name the baby in the dedication. Our new sibling gift guide has ideas for timing and messages.

When the baby is older, add a book for them too, in the same world, and the set is complete.

Twins

For twins, make one book each in the same world and art style, with different adventures. Each twin gets their own name in the title and their own face on every page, which matters a lot to children who share almost everything else.
