What’s in the PDF

The front cover with your child’s name in the title, a title page with their portrait and your dedication, fifteen full-page illustrations each with its page of story, and an end page. Pages are 8.75 inches square at print resolution, so a home print looks sharp.

You also get the online reader with page-by-page narration and a share link, and you can order a printed copy of the same book later.

Questions

Can I print the PDF myself?

Yes, for personal use. It prints well on A4 or US Letter with the “fit to page” setting.

Can I get it printed later?

Yes. From your book page you can order a paperback or hardcover at any time; you only pay the difference.

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.
