A picture story in English, written at their level
Children learning to read English, at home or as a second language, stay with a book longer when they are in it. Each Picture to Story book is written in clear British English at a level set by your child’s age, with read-aloud narration on every page.

Questions
Is it British or American English?
Stories are written in British English.
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.
