Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our personalized storybooks.
How do you create personalized books?
Each book is thoughtfully illustrated by a professional artist. You share your child's photo, name, and a personal dedication message. Using minimal AI, we create a caricature inspired by your photo to naturally integrate your child into the story. We then include their name and your custom dedication before sending the book to print. Your personalized keepsake is delivered straight to your home.
What are the requirements for the photo I need to submit?
For the best result, we recommend using a clear, well-lit photo where the eyes are clearly visible. A photo where the child is visible from head to toe helps us match their outfit exactly, from their hairstyle down to their shoes.
For which age are the books most suitable?
Our books can be enjoyed by any age, but were specifically written with 2 to 10 year olds in mind.
Can I include multiple people in one book?
At this time we are only offering personalized stories that feature one child as the hero, but we are working on more stories to include several. Stay tuned!
Which stories are available?
We offer a growing collection of titles, each centered on a meaningful moral lesson. Browse our full catalog on the Our Stories page.
How long does it take to receive my book?
Because every book is handcrafted to order, production and shipping typically takes 3 to 4 weeks.
How much does a book cost?
Each personalized hardcover book is priced individually — see our stories page for current pricing. Shipping is $7.99 per order plus applicable taxes.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Because every book is made entirely to order, we are unable to accept returns or offer refunds once production has begun. If you need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to help if production has not yet started. If your book arrives damaged, email us a photo and we will send a replacement at no charge. See our full Refund & Return Policy for details.
Is my child's photo kept private?
Yes. Your child's photo is used solely to create the personalized illustration for your book. We do not share it with third parties for any other purpose, and we do not use it to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
