What buyers said
She spotted herself on the second page and went completely quiet, then asked me to read it again straight away. It has not left her bed since.
I ordered it for my grandson three days before Christmas and had no faith it would arrive. It did, and his mother cried before he did.
I was fully prepared for the face to be almost right and slightly wrong. It is not. It is him, in a way I did not think a machine could manage.
We have about four thousand photos of that first Christmas and not one of them gets looked at. This gets looked at every week.
The bit that got me was his name printed inside the story rather than stuck on the cover. He thinks the book was written about him, and I am not correcting him.
I read the whole thing twice before I paid, which is the only reason I paid. Everyone else wanted the money first and a photo of my daughter with it.
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.
The book being read
A mother reads the book to the child on the sofa, the first blessing open on their laps. A father reads the earth blessing at bedtime, the book open in the lamplight. A grandmother and the child on the living-room floor with the bedtime blessing open between them.
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.
As seen in
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.

One blessing before dinner, every night
We started reading one page before dinner instead of all ten at once. My daughter now reminds us if we forget. It has become the nicest five minutes of the day and I did not expect a picture book to do that.
She points to herself before I open the page
The character looks like her and she knows it. She points before I have even turned to the right spread. She is three and she already understands that this was made for her.
This is a keepsake, not a toy
Going in the box with the hospital bracelet and the first shoes. It will mean more to her at twenty than it does now.
She started listing her own blessings
Unprompted, at breakfast. She has a list. The cat is on it. So is the purple cup. So is the neighbor's dog. This book started something and I'm grateful for it.
My mother cried when she opened it
I ordered it as a gift for my mother from her granddaughter. She called before she'd gotten through the third page. I could barely understand her. Very highly recommended for grandparents.
The illustrations are warm without being sentimental
I was worried it would be saccharine. It isn't. The art is genuinely warm and careful, and the text is honest in a way that doesn't feel forced. My daughter likes it. I like it. That's harder than it sounds.
She recites it to her baby brother
She's five and he's four months old. She holds the book in front of him and reads it slowly, pointing at the pictures like he can follow. He watches her. I watch both of them. It's one of the best things I have ever seen.
The character is so accurate it surprised me
Her braids, her favorite expression, even the way she holds her hands, all in the book. I uploaded one photo and did not expect this level of care. The whole family noticed before I said anything.
She carries it to church every Sunday
She decided it belongs there. It goes in her bag every week. She has shown it to half the congregation. Three families have asked me about it. I keep the link in my phone now.
A gift I'll give again and again
I've ordered three now: one for my daughter, one for my niece, one for a friend's baby. Every family had the same reaction: silence first, then a lot of feeling. This is the gift I will keep giving for the foreseeable future.
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.
