Questions

Who is it for?

Parents, grandparents and anyone giving a gift, for children from newborns to 7-year-olds. For babies the story is a short, gentle rhyme. The person making the book should be an adult.

What can the story be about?

Anything you can describe: what your child loves, an adventure, a new baby sibling, the first day of school, a trip to grandma's, a bedtime ritual. Family, friends and pets can join the story too.

Does my child really look like the hero?

The hero is drawn from your description (hair, eyes, glasses, favourite clothes) and stays the same on every page. It is an illustration, not a portrait, and we never ask for photos. How to describe your child
