"The most beautiful book"

The illustrations are truly incredible and my daughter really looks like the character. You can write your own story or pick a ready-made one and adapt it. Delivery was super fast. Totally worth it β€” a wonderful gift!

"He points to everything"

My son (4) recognizes himself on every page immediately. Not 100% on the hair but he doesn't care β€” he wants it read every night. Ordering more.

FAQ

Everything parents ask before they order

How long does it really take?
The story is written in a couple of minutes, and you approve your child's character right after. About ten minutes later the preview is ready β€” every page sketched, plus the cover β€” before you pay anything. Once you order, the book is painted, usually within the hour, and we email you when it's done; the hardcover arrives 5–10 business days later.
What if the illustration doesn't look right?
You approve your child's character before you pay, and can have it adjusted up to twice β€” eye colour as often as you like. The whole book is painted from the look you approve, and if a page in the finished book has a genuine flaw, we fix it free.
What age range?
2 to 8 years works best. Stories are tailored by age group (toddler / preschooler / early reader).
What happens with my photo?
Encrypted, stored on EU servers and used only for your book. Deleted after you approve the characters β€” never kept longer than 30 days. Not used for training or marketing.
Is hardcover available?
Yes β€” included in the $34.99 price along with the digital book. Premium A4 landscape hardcover, shipping included.
Can I order two or more books?
Yes. Choose "Two books" at checkout β€” $64.99 for both, so $32.50 per book, each with its hardcover. Up to five at once: every book after the first is $30.00. You make the first book now and the others whenever you like from your account, each with its own hero and its own story.
What language is the book written in?
Your book is written and printed in English β€” proofread by native speakers.
