Stories we have already written and illustrated, waiting for a hero. Send one photo and we draw your child onto every page, then mail you the hardcover.
$44.99 with free US shipping. Read the whole book before you pay.
Send one photo. They become the hero.
This is a real book we made from a real photo. We draw your child in the book’s own style, then put them on every page, the cover and the title page. Not a name on a sticker: the child in the pictures is yours.
The same page, from the sample book to Tommy’s.
Every scene is redrawn around your child, not pasted on.
The photo is used only to draw your child. It is never used to train AI and it is deleted after the book is made.
Who is the book for?
Type a name and every title below changes. This is exactly how the printed book reads.

Questions parents ask
What is a ready-made book?
A story we have already written and illustrated, waiting for a hero. You pick the book, we draw your child into it and print it. There is nothing to write and no draft to wait for, which is what makes it ready in minutes rather than hours.
What do I need to provide?
Your child’s first name, the pronouns you want the story to use, and one clear photo of their face. That takes about two minutes. We use the photo only to draw your child into the illustrations. It is never used to train AI and it is deleted after the book is made.
How is the book personalized?
Your child’s name is woven through the whole story, including the cover and the title page, and your child is illustrated as the hero on every page, in the same style as the rest of the book. You can read the entire personalized story online before you pay.
Can I read it before I buy?
Yes. Every book on this page opens as a complete book you can read cover to cover, and it re-letters live as you type your child’s name. You only pay once you have seen the whole story.
What is the printed book like?
An 8.5 inch square hardcover with a premium glossy finish: a full-color cover, a title page, and 23 illustrated story pages. US shipping is included in the price.
How long does it take to arrive?
We illustrate your child into the book within hours, print it as a hardcover, and ship it within the US. Door to door takes about 10 days. You can read the finished book on screen as soon as it is ready, long before the parcel lands.
Can I add a gift message?
Yes. A short dedication is hand-lettered onto the title page, so the book works as a gift from grandparents, aunts and uncles, or friends.
What if I want a story that is not on this shelf?
Build your own. Our story builder writes and illustrates a completely original book from your idea, with as many characters as you like. Ready-made books are the shortcut, not the only option.
