Just a photo and a name — about 2 minutes. You’ll see the finished cover free, and confirm your format at checkout. Nothing prints until you approve every page.
Hear this very book
This is our finished sample — its real narration and its own song. Order, and your child’s copy is made fresh: same story, their name on the cover, their face on every page.
The whole book read aloud, the way it arrives with a hardcover.
Written from this story — not a stock track with a name dropped in. Free with every book.
- Painted, not pasted — your child's real look on every page, from one photo (never saved).
- A real printed book — 32+ premium 8.5×8.5″ pages, hard or soft cover.
- See it before you pay — the finished cover appears free.
- You approve every page — nothing prints until you say so.
How is this book personalized?
This exact story is finished and checked page by page. When you order, your child’s name takes the hero’s place — on the cover and through the whole story — and every illustration paints again with your child’s real look, from one photo. The photo itself is never saved.
Printing & shipping
Every copy is printed on demand as a premium 8.5×8.5″ picture book with 32+ pages. The hardcover ships free wherever we ship; softcover shipping is quoted at checkout before you pay.
What if I want something changed?
After your book is made you can ask us to repaint any page before it prints — and nothing goes to print until you approve the whole book.
Want a fully custom story instead?
This title keeps its story so you know exactly what you’re getting. For a one-of-a-kind story about your child’s real week, write your own in the wizard.
How your copy is made
Add a photo and a name
About two minutes. The photo is used once to draw your child’s character, then never saved.
We paint them into every page
The same story and scenes you see above, repainted so your child is the hero — cover to cover, the same face on every page.
Approve it, then it prints
You see the finished cover free, check every page, and only then does it print and ship to your door.
How your child gets into this book
The same way Nina did. One photo, and every page of this story paints again with that face.
Now send your child’s photo. We paint them the same way and put them in this exact story — then the photo is deleted. Only the drawing is kept.
Painted in Soft Felt
The story, word for word
No surprises: this is the exact story your copy tells — with your child’s name in the hero’s place.
Read every word of the story
The full text of the sample book — your copy tells the same story with your child’s name in the hero’s place.
