How it works

Tell us about your loved one

Their name, age, home town and the things they love. Add how they look, so the illustrations really look like them.

Get creative!

Pick one of our story ideas, ask for a surprise, or dream up your very own. You can add a second character too — a granny, a big brother, a best friend or a beloved pet.

We write their story

A one-of-a-kind 12-page tale, written free, set in the real places you know from your own home town.

Read it and tweak it

Read every page before anything is illustrated, with up to 3 free rewrites until it sounds right.

We illustrate every page

Your child stars in beautiful pictures, plus both covers, in the illustration style you chose. Illustration and printing are flat fees wherever you are; only the postage varies by country, and you see your exact price before paying.

Check it before we print

Ordering a hardcover? Have a look through the finished book first. If there's anything you'd like changed, tap "Fix a page" and we'll illustrate that page again. You have 24 hours and up to three changes; after that it goes to the printer automatically.
