Private from the moment you choose it
Photos go straight into private storage that isn't publicly readable. They're used only to draw your child's character, never shown on the site or sold onward.
A little publishing house for one very small reader
Once upon a time,the hero was theirs.
A hardcover storybook with your child's name on the cover, their treasured companion at their side, and a dedication written in your own words on the opening page. Made to be read a hundred times, then kept forever.

On our shelves
Choose the world their adventure happens in.
Every world holds several stories, so next year can be a brand-new adventure with the very same hero and the very same companion.
Pilot & Sky
Flying gear, a small wooden plane, and a whole patchwork world below.
Astronaut & Stars
A slow countdown, a quiet moon, and one small flag planted well.
Under the Sea
A small yellow submarine, a lost hat, and a very polite octopus.
Also on the shelf
Farm, Horses & Cowfolk
Boots before sunrise, one escaped pony, and a very good hat.
Woodland Adventure
A lantern, a map drawn in crayon, and one very loud owl.
Enchanted Kingdom
A crown that doesn't fit, a dragon who can't sleep, and one excellent idea.
How it becomes theirs
Four gentle steps, and about ten minutes.
- One
Tell us about them
Their name, their age, and the small things that make them themselves. A photo helps us draw a child who truly looks like yours.
- Two
Bring their companion along
The rabbit with one flat ear. The bear with the missing eye. Whoever goes everywhere with them comes into the story too.
- Three
Read the story first
The words arrive before a single picture is painted. Read it aloud, ask for another version, change your mind twice — then say yes.
- Four
Watch it become a book
Illustrations are painted around your approved story, then bound as a hardcover keepsake and posted to your door.
A gift that gets kept
The present they'll still have at thirty.
Toys are outgrown by spring. A book with their name on the cover and your words on the dedication page moves house with them.
- Birthdays
- From grandparents
- First milestones
- Christmas mornings
- A new little sibling
- Just because
Care and keeping
Your child's photo, treated the way we'd want ours treated.
Drawn, never pasted in
We paint an illustrated character from the photo, then keep that same face, hair, outfit and companion consistent on every single page of the book.
Nothing is printed without your yes
You read the whole story before illustration begins, and see every finished page before the book is sent to be printed and bound.
Their story is waiting
Begin the book they'll ask forevery single night.
Ten quiet minutes now, a hardcover keepsake in their hands later.
