Picture stories for kids, with your child as the hero
A good picture story for a two-year-old and a good one for a seven-year-old are different books. We write each one for the age you enter, then draw your child into every scene.

Matched to their age
Ages 2 to 3: 12 to 30 words a page, lots of repetition to join in with, gentle bedtime-friendly plots.
Ages 4 to 5: 25 to 55 words a page, a real problem to solve and a helper to solve it with.
Ages 6 to 8: 40 to 110 words a page, funnier dialogue, bigger adventures and a lesson that lands without preaching.

Questions
Can older children read it themselves?
Yes. From about age six the text is written for early readers, with clear sentences and familiar words.
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.
