A christening gift
“We ordered it for my goddaughter's christening. Her name was on the cover, spelled correctly, and the hardcover felt solid in the hand. I left it on the table for a while before wrapping it and kept looking at it.”

- Step 1
1. The photos
5 photos for 3 people. Every photo is checked on your own device before it is uploaded: enough light, a sharp picture, a face that can be seen clearly.

Who the book is for, the topic, the picture style, the colours, the letters, the language and a dedication. One decision per screen, and the book changes beside you with every tap.
- Who for: For the family › For grandma
- Picture style: Knitted world
- Colours: Olive grove
- Letters: Storybook

- Format: Printed book

- Step 3
3. The heroes are drawn from the photos
Each person is drawn in the style you chose, as an artistic likeness that keeps what sets them apart in the photos: the glasses, the beanie, the hair, the smile. Even a drawing becomes a character of the book (here, a sample drawing stands in for a child's).

4. The story and the pages
The text is written for your own people with the help of artificial intelligence, from the frame our team wrote and checked. Every page is a new scene with the same people.
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 - Step 5
5. The book
The words are placed on the page by our own software, with the names exactly as you typed them. A digital book, or a printed hardcover that includes the digital one.
The test books are the short test edition, with 3 story pages; the full book has 24 pages. The people in the photos are models from licensed photos, not our customers.

The “photos” here are drawn samples, not real people. In your own book the heroes are drawn from your own photos and are artistic likenesses, not photographs.
Who for
A book for someone you love
Pick who the hero will be. Next you choose the topic and the look of the book.
How it works
How the book is made
Eight steps, one decision per screen. Tap your choice and move on with “Continue” when you are ready. You pay nothing until you have seen your free preview.
1. Who is in the book
You choose who the book is for and type the names. We read “he” or “she” from the name and ask only when it is not certain. For a child you choose the age group. Up to 6 people.
2. What the story is about
For a child you choose a category, then a topic. The story comes with the topic and is built around your answers. For children and babies you also choose what it should leave behind: courage, kindness, friendship and more.
3. How it looks
17 picture styles, each with a large example. 15 colour palettes, then you fine-tune the page colour, the cover cloth, the ink and the accent colours. Letters, the language of the book and a dedication.
4. Photos and preview
Up to 5 photos per person, checked on your device. You see the cover, the first three pages and two from the middle for free. Then you choose the digital or the printed book.
Reviews
The book, when it arrives at home
Photos, videos and words from people who received their book will appear here.
Sample reviews: they will be replaced by real ones once sales begin.
The printed book on a wooden table, next to a coffee and a plant, in the morning light. SampleTwo hands hold the book open: a picture on the left page, the text on the right. SampleA name day
“I gave it to my sister for her name day, with her two nephews in the pages. She opened it, read the first page aloud, and then she did not stop. She liked that the names were spelled exactly as I had typed them.”
A child in bed, under a lamp, reads the book at night. SampleA birthday
“My daughter recognised herself in the drawings from the first page. On a page or two the face looks less like her, but she asks for it every night before bed.”
The book, tied with a ribbon, leans against the Christmas tree with its lights. SampleChristmas
“I wrapped it in ribbon and put it under the tree. On Christmas morning my son opened it first, before all the other gifts, and since then he looks for himself on every page.”
The book comes out of a cardboard box, out of tissue paper. SampleA trip with friends
“We ordered it for our group after the trip to the Cyclades. It arrived in very good condition. We all laughed when we saw our names on the cover.”
The book stands on a shelf among old books, next to a vase of flowers. SampleA gift for grandma
“I made it for my mother, with her grandchildren in it. The dedication page made her cry. Now it stands on her bookshelf, between her old books, and she shows it to everyone who visits.”

Safely
The photos and the guarantee
A child's photos are the most personal thing you trust us with. So there are rules that do not change.
The photos
They are used only for your own book. They never train AI, are never sold and never appear in adverts.
The photo is checked on your own device before it is uploaded: light, sharpness, a face that can be seen.
If you do not buy the book, the photos are deleted automatically after 7 days.
If you do, they are deleted automatically 30 days after delivery. You can delete them sooner at any time.
Data is stored encrypted in the European Union.
Only a parent or guardian, or someone with their permission, may give a child's photo.
The guarantee
We fix our mistakes
A mistake of ours or a faulty picture? We correct the digital book or reprint the book free of charge. If we cannot put it right, we refund in full.
You approve before it is printed
You see the complete digital book and approve it. Until then you can cancel the order free of charge.
Your own typo? One free correction
If you typed the mistake and approved it yourself, we correct the digital book free of charge once, within the period set out in the refund terms.
Because the book is made specially for you, there is no refund for a change of mind.
