A gift they'll keep
A gift book starring someone you love.
For a grandchild, a best friend, a new baby, a teacher. Tell us a story with them in it and we'll turn it into a beautifully illustrated hardcover they'll keep forever.
Nothing to pay until you love it.
Gift ideas
- For a grandchild. A story from Grandma and Grandpa, starring them, with your love on every page.
- For a friend. An inside joke, a shared memory, or a grand adventure with them as the hero.
- For a new baby. The story of the day they arrived, to read together for years.
- For a birthday or holiday. A present no one else could have given.
Add a photo of the person and we'll draw them into every page. Your part takes a few minutes, and your first preview usually arrives the same day, so you can see it and change anything before we print.
How it works
No templates, no drawing, no design software. Your part takes a few minutes; the book is one of a kind.

Do I need the person's photo?
No, but it helps. With a clear photo we draw the character to look like them. Without one, describe them and we'll take it from there.
Can I add a dedication?
Yes. Include it with your story, or reply to our email with it, and we'll put it in the book.
How long does it take?
Your part takes a few minutes. Your first preview usually arrives the same day. Printing and shipping come after you approve, so leave time before the occasion.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes. You see the full preview first, and there's nothing to pay until you approve the book.
Can I print it?
Yes. Every book is made to be printed. Once you approve the preview, we print a real hardcover.
