A personalized gift for kids that they’ll actually keep
Toys get outgrown by spring. A book where they are the hero gets read at bedtime for years, then kept. It’s also one of the few gifts you can make the night before a birthday and still have it feel thoughtful.

Why a personalised book works as a gift
It’s about them, specifically: their face, their favourite animal, the thing they’re brave about. It grows with them, because younger children love the pictures and older ones read it themselves. And it carries your words on the first page, which is the part grown-ups get emotional about years later.
Giving it
Add a dedication and a “with love from” line. Send the printed book straight to the child’s address with shipping included, or share the online book with their parents the same day.

Questions
What if I don’t have a good photo of the child?
Any clear, well-lit photo of their face works, even a phone snapshot from a family chat. We check it on the first screen and tell you if another would be better.
Can I ship it to someone else?
Yes. Enter their address at checkout. Prices include shipping.
How does a personalised picture book from a photo work?
You add one clear photo of your child and answer a few fun questions: their name, age, favourite things and the adventure. We draw your child as the hero of a 32-page illustrated story, keeping their face, hair and skin tone recognisable on every page.
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.
How much does it cost?
In the UK the digital book is £9.99. A printed paperback is £19.99 and a hardcover is £27.99, both with shipping and the digital book included. Prices show in your local currency (GBP, USD, EUR, CAD, AUD). Every extra book for your family is 20% off.
