Inside the book
Not a ready-made story with the name swapped in.
Every book is written and illustrated from scratch. Your child is the one who discovers, decides and solves the story's challenge.
Looks just like them
Skin tone, hair, glasses. Send a photo, or just choose their features.
- Biscuit the dog
- a favorite color
- a big brother
- a favorite snack
What only you know
The family pet, a favorite color, a big brother. It all goes into the adventure, just right.
The adventures
An adventure for tonight. Or for a moment that calls for a talk.
Sometimes the best way to talk about something new is a good story, where your child finds the courage on their own.

Questions
Before you start
What families ask most before creating their first story.
Do I need to send a photo?
No. A photo helps us draw your child's face, but you can just choose skin tone, hair and glasses.
How much does it cost?
$19.99 per book. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. No subscription: you only pay after you've seen the title and cover.
What if we don't love it?
Not happy? Full refund within 30 days, no questions asked. Just email us.
What happens to the photo?
It's used only to draw your child, and then it's deleted. Nothing about your child is ever used in ads.
What ages is it for?
Ages 2 to 8. The story fits your child's age: 6 to 10 pages, with just the right words.
How do I get the book?
As a PDF, in two versions: one to read on your phone and one ready to print at home on Letter paper. We also email it to you.
How long does it take?
You see the title and cover in a few minutes. After you pay, the whole book is ready in about 15 minutes.
Tonight, the child you love becomes the hero.
It takes just a few minutes to tell us about them. The adventure appears right after, with your child drawn right in the middle of it.
