π₯ One sunny morning in Dinosaur Valley, a speckled egg rolls to your child's feet β and out pops Pip, a tiny triceratops who is lost and far from home.
π¦ Together they fly with a pterodactyl, cross a rushing river, shelter from a storm and befriend a lonely T-Rex. Every page ends with a little lesson about courage and kindness.

Can I see it first?
Yes. Upload one photo, wait less than 30 seconds, and the finished book opens in front of you, cover and pages. Nothing is charged before that.
How the photo is used
Photos kept only for the preview expire under our preview cleanup policy. When you continue to checkout, your photo and book details are copied to a private archive and retained indefinitely for making your book and future reprints. They are not used to train models.
What you get
A 22-page picture book, softcover or hardcover, with your child drawn as the character on every page and their name printed through the story rather than on the cover alone.
Delivery
Printed and bound to order, then shipped. 5 to 7 business days door to door within the United States, for a flat $6.95.
How it works
Upload a photo
One child, face clearly visible. The photo does not have to be perfect: you see the result before you decide.
See the character
Less than 30 seconds later the character is drawn in the style of the book, from that photo.
Read it together
The whole book opens on screen. Make it again if it is not right, buy it if it is, and read the printed one with them.
Reading together
An example of a bedtime reading moment by a bedside lamp. An example of a child paging through a picture book in an armchair. An example of a family sharing a picture book on the living-room floor.
Drawn from your photo
The character keeps the face, hair and coloring of the child in the photograph, drawn in the book's own style.
On every page
The character is placed into each scene of the book, not only onto the cover, which is the part that makes a child look for themselves on the next page, and read on to find out.
Printed to order
Softcover or hardcover, thick paper, printed for one child once the order is placed, then shipped straight out.
What this book is
What is true of every title in this shop.
Your child on every page
The character is drawn from the photograph and appears in each scene, not only on the cover. Their name runs through the text.
The book they read with you
Research suggests children smile, talk and stay with a story more when it is about them. A child who wants the book open is the child who starts reading it back to you.
A printed book
Softcover or hardcover, thick paper, made for one child once the order is placed. A book, not a printout.
Questions
What makes a good photo?
One child, face clearly visible, roughly facing the camera. No side profiles, nothing covering the face.
What age is this for?
From their first picture books to about eight, and it works differently at each end. At two they point at themselves on the page. At four they ask for it again. At six they read the words back to you. Each book says the ages it was written for.
What happens to the photo?
Photos kept only for the preview expire under our preview cleanup policy. When you continue to checkout, your photo and book details are copied to a private archive and retained indefinitely for making your book and future reprints. They are not used to train models.
Can the character be drawn again?
Yes, and you can say what should be different before it is.
Is the story different for each child?
The story stays the same. The name and the character change with the child.
How long does delivery take?
5 to 7 business days to a US address, printing and binding included, because every book is made after it is ordered. Order a little ahead of a birthday.
What about returns?
A book made for one child cannot be resold, so it cannot be returned on a change of mind. That is why you read every page before paying. If it arrives damaged or wrong, we replace it: write to us.
