Opening your storybook…
A custom keepsake picture book
A book that only exists for your kid.
Their name, their family, and what they’re feeling this year. Written and illustrated for them, printed once, wrapped by hand.
“It literally made me cry. It captured his personality and his little heart in the most beautiful way.”

What a family tells us, and the page it becomes.
What a family might tell us“Papa makes pancakes every Saturday, same time, same pan. I do bedtime reading. My reading glasses live on top of my head.”
That night, Mama read to him, her glasses up on her head. Papa leaned in the doorway. “Pancakes Saturday. Same pan, same time.” Nico held up the grey rock. He ran his thumb around the little road. “Today I went a different way,” he said. “And I came back.”
Tell us a book you love. We’ll draw theirs to feel like it.
Six books, six different looks.
Kids listen differently when the story is about them.
When my son was three, his feelings were bigger than him. Library books about feelings didn’t hold him; they were about someone else. So one night I made up a story with his name in it, and an old moose who knew a secret about big feelings. He asked for it again the next night.
We call it the bigness now. When it comes, we do what the moose did: stand still, feel our feet, and breathe slow. Together.
Now I make them on purpose. I check every page, and Indira and I wrap every book by hand.

Giving it as a gift?
You give it. Their parent fills it in.
The questions go to their mom or dad, who adds the details and approves every page before anything prints. It stays a surprise for the child.
Before you order
What happens to my child’s photo?
Photo optional. Never used to train AI. Deleted on a schedule. It’s a drawing reference: we and the AI image tool we draw in use it to draw your child, and for nothing else. When the book is delivered we send you a link to delete it or keep it for a second book, for up to six months from when you sent it. If you don’t reply, we delete it.
Do I have to send a photo?
No. On the questionnaire you can tap to describe how your child looks instead: build, skin tone, hair, eyes, glasses. Either way, you approve how they’re drawn before the rest of the book is made.
Will it arrive by Christmas?
Yes, if you order by November 21, send your answers by November 23 and approve your proof by November 28. The book arrives about 4 weeks after your answers are in. Later than that? Add rush ($39) at checkout and order by December 5, answers by December 6, proof approved by December 9: printed and sent express, it arrives about 2 weeks after your answers are in.
What if I don’t love the proof?
You get three rounds of changes, included. Still not right after the third? We do a fourth round free. And if it still isn’t right, we refund you in full any time before you approve it for print, no reason needed. Nothing prints until you say yes, and if the printed book arrives damaged or misprinted, we reprint it free.
Is it made with AI?
Yes. AI helps me draft. I read every page out loud and rewrite it, and nothing prints until you approve. AI turns your answers into a first draft of the words and pictures; then I rewrite what doesn’t sound like your child, and you get three rounds of changes. The narration, if you add it, is read by an AI voice.
“This goes far beyond AI and 100% has a human touch and love woven in the story.”
