Families say

Made for the read-aloud moments that stick.

“I’m usually the aunt who gives noisy toys, so this was a change. My niece spotted both of us on the cover, then made me read it twice before I left.”
PriyaAunt to a 6-year-old
“My niece lives across the country, and I wanted something that still felt like us. We built the story around our baking days, and she now asks for it when we video call.”
ClaireLong-distance aunt
“My sister made this for our daughter. The little details—her dog, their nickname, the purple backpack—were what made it feel genuinely personal.”
MichaelDad of the recipient

Good to know

Everything you need to know before you begin.

You only need a simple idea to get started, and nothing is printed until you approve it.

What comes with each book?

Each book is a 32-page, fully illustrated personalized storybook in an 8.5-inch square format. Choose a glossy softcover or hardcover edition before checkout.

What happens after I start?

Choose an adventure and add the people you love. Read the whole story and preview selected illustrations before you order. Then refine your story, create and edit the artwork, and approve your book. We’ll print it and deliver it to your door.

Do I need to upload a photo?

A photo is optional, but recommended if you’d like the character to resemble someone you know. You can also simply describe how you’d like your character to look instead.

Can I make changes?

Yes—even after you order. You can edit the title, tone, story text, and artwork before you approve your book for printing.

When will it arrive?

Printing normally takes 3–5 business days. Once printed, delivery can take up to 15 business days.

What if I change my mind?

A full refund is available before final illustrations begin. After that, you may be eligible for a 50% refund until printing or fulfillment starts. See the full refund policy.
