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 first page to the child on the sofa, the little bed and the moon at the window open on their laps. A father reads the drumming bears at bedtime, the book open in the lamplight. A grandmother and the child on the living-room floor with the last goodnight page open between them.
Drawn from your photo
The character keeps the face, hair and colouring 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
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
Hardcover, thick paper, made for one child once the order is placed. A book, not a printout.

It stays on the nightstand
She keeps it next to her lamp. Not the shelf, not the toy box, but the nightstand, so she can see the cover from bed. That placement tells you everything.
Perfect for a shy kid
My daughter doesn't like being the center of attention. She quietly took this to her room, read it alone about six times, and then brought it to school for share day. That is a very big deal for her.
The hair is right, and that's the whole bar
My daughter has a particular kind of wavy hair that never looks right in photos. It looked right in the book. She pointed at the first page and nodded at me like I'd finally managed something.
She describes her dreams now
She started telling me her dreams every morning after we began reading this. The book talks about what you dream, and she decided she should report back. I look forward to it. It's the best part of breakfast.
She takes it very seriously
My daughter treats this book like it is hers in a way she doesn't treat other things. She is careful with the pages. She won't let her brother hold it. I did not expect a picture book to teach her that something could be precious.
The night sky illustrations are stunning
I don't know what I expected but not this. The spreads are genuinely beautiful, the kind of thing I'd want on a wall if they weren't bound in a book. My daughter wants to sleep under them. I understand why.
She told her teacher she has a magic book
The teacher sent me a note asking about it. She'd told the whole class. The teacher wanted to know the name in case other parents asked. I sent her the link.
She decided the star on the cover is hers
She named it. The star has a name now. She says goodnight to it. She checks every night to make sure it's still there. I had no idea a detail on a cover could carry so much.
Softer than any other bedtime book we own
I have a whole shelf of bedtime books. This one is different. It's slower and quieter without being boring, and she's calmer by the last page every single time. That's hard to do.
The character is so accurate it surprised me
I uploaded one photo and didn't expect much. The character has her same expression, not just the hair and eyes but the way she tilts her head when she's curious. I don't know how they did that from one image.
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 working days to a UK 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.
