Questions
How does it work?
Upload one photo of your kid and tell us three things about them. We draw their character, you approve it, and then we write and illustrate a 24-page story around those three facts. You read the whole book on screen, edit any line you like, and only then decide whether to buy the printed copy.
What do you do with the photo?
The photo is used once, to draw the character. The moment you approve the character it is deleted from our storage, and it is never used to train any model. Every email we send includes a link that deletes everything about the book.
What ages is it for?
Two age bands. Ages 2 to 4 get one short sentence per page. Ages 5 to 7 get a few sentences per page with a bit more plot. Pick the band on the form and the story is written to match.
How long does it take to arrive?
Books are printed to order near you and ship in 3 to 5 business days. Most US orders arrive within two weeks; the exact dates are shown on your book's page.
Can I see the book before I buy it?
Yes, every page. See every page before you pay. The preview is exactly what prints, watermark aside.
What if my kid's character doesn't look right?
You approve the character before any pages are drawn. If it is not quite them, edit the description and we redraw it, free, up to two times. After that you can choose a no-photo character instead.
What if it arrives damaged?
See every page before you pay. If the printed book arrives damaged or with a printing mistake, send us a photo within 30 days and we reprint it free. If it doesn't arrive, we refund you.
Where do you ship?
We ship to the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, New Zealand and most other countries. Printed in the US, UK, Canada, France, Australia and India by Lulu. Your book is printed at the site nearest you, so it travels a short distance.
