Made about your child

Your Own Story

$24.00one-time

You tell us about them, we write the book. Their name, their age, the thing they're obsessed with this month, the friend or the dog who has to be in it — you write the brief, and we turn it into a proper illustrated story.

  • Twelve pages, or twenty if you want a longer story
  • Written from your brief, not a template with a name swapped in
  • Choose the look: painted, simple flat cartoon, or plain outline for them to color in
  • Every brief is screened before a single word is written
  • Delivered within 24 hours
  • Don't like it? We rewrite it free

Made to order, so it isn't instant. Most land in under an hour.

Let's build it together

Answer a few questions and read a real page of your child's book — free, before you decide.

Rather fill in a form yourself?

Optional, but it is how we draw a child who actually looks like yours. Hair, skin, glasses, a wheelchair — whatever matters.

The more specific, the better the book. “Loves diggers, scared of thunder, dog called Biscuit must be the sidekick” beats “likes vehicles”. There are no set worlds — if they want a story about the bin lorry and a polite werewolf, write exactly that.

Every page gets its own picture. Painted is rich and storybook-like; Simple is bold flat cartoon. See both in Look inside.

After you order

What happens after you pay.

Ready-made files are yours immediately. Anything made for your child takes a little longer, on purpose.

  1. Straight away

    Your receipt arrives

    If you bought a coloring pack or a ready-made story, the download link is in that same email. Print it tonight — you're done.

  2. Within an hour

    We start making it

    Custom stories and photo pages go into the queue with the brief or photo you sent. If anything you wrote is unclear, we email you rather than guess.

  3. Before it reaches you

    We put it together

    We finish your custom book and get it print-ready. This is the step that takes the time, and it's the one worth waiting for.

  4. Within 24 hours

    It lands in your inbox

    A print-ready PDF, sized for A4 and US Letter, yours to print forever. If you set a delivery date as a gift, we hold it until that morning instead.

  5. If it misses

    We remake it, free

    Tell us what was wrong and you get a new version, usually same day. If the second one still isn't right, we refund you and you keep both files.

Before you buy

Questions about this book

How fast do I actually get it?

Ready-made packs and stories download the moment you pay. Custom stories and photo pages are made to order and arrive within 24 hours, usually much less.

Will it eat all my printer ink?

No. Line art on white, no filled backgrounds, no grey shading. A full pack uses roughly the ink of four photo prints. Print in black and white, normal quality.

What happens to the photo I upload?

We use it once to draw your coloring page, then delete it within 30 days. It is never used to train any model, never sold, never shared. Only upload photos you have the right to share.

What if we don't like it?

Custom orders get remade free — tell us what missed. If the second version still isn't right, email within 30 days for a full refund, and keep the files.
