A picture story book with your child on every page
A picture story book tells the story through its pictures as much as its words. Each of the 15 spreads in a Picture to Story book pairs a full-page illustration with a page of text, so pre-readers can follow along and early readers can take over.

The book, page by page
Page one is a title page with your child’s portrait and your dedication. Then come fifteen spreads, each with a picture on the left and words on the right, building from an ordinary morning to a big adventure and back home again. The last page says “The End” and who it was made for.
Printed books are 8.5 inches square on premium full-colour paper. The digital edition has the same pages, plus narration you can play page by page.

Questions
How many pages is the picture story book?
32 pages: a title page, 15 picture-and-text spreads, and an end page.
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?
The digital book is $14.99. A printed paperback is $34.99 and a hardcover is $44.99, both with shipping and the digital book included. Every extra book for your family is 20% off.
