Customisation
How do I personalise my child’s book?
Personalising your child’s book is quick, easy, and fun! Simply answer a few questions about your child, such as their name, favourite animal, hobbies, and appearance. You can also select a meaningful lesson or theme, such as courage or kindness, to ensure the story resonates with your child and imparts valuable life lessons. Once complete, we’ll create a magical story where your child is the hero of their own adventure! We use what you tell us to craft a fun, engaging, educational, and inspiring story that becomes the perfect keepsake for your family.
Can I include my child's best friend or sibling in the story?
Absolutely! You can add the name of your child’s best friend or sibling, and they’ll be featured as key characters in the adventure. This makes the story even more personal and meaningful for your child.
Can I upload a photo of my child to be included in the book illustrations?
Our illustrations are currently customised based on the details you provide, such as hair colour, eye colour, and more, but we don’t offer the option to upload photos at this time. However, our personalised illustrations are designed to bring your child’s unique traits to life, making the book a magical and memorable keepsake.
Can I change my personalisation details after placing the order?
Kindly double-check your story inputs before placing your order, as we’re unable to make changes to the story content and attached photo after it’s submitted. Thank you for understanding! We can change your address and shipping details within 2-4 hours maximum of you placing your order also. If you do wish to change your order, and want to see if we possibly can, please contact us.
What if my child’s preferences change after receiving the book? Can I get a new one?
We understand that children’s interests can evolve over time! If your child’s preferences change, you’re welcome to order a new version with updated personalisation details. As a thank you to our loyal customers, we offer discounts for returning customers. Simply reach out to our team, and we’ll make sure you’re looked after.
Can I choose the lesson or theme of the story?
Yes, you can! We offer a range of themes and lessons to choose from, including friendship, courage, empathy, and more. These values are seamlessly woven into the story, creating a fun and engaging way for your child to learn important life lessons that align with your values.
Can I see a preview of the book before ordering?
While we don’t provide full previews of the finished book, we offer a glimpse into how your story is personalised through snippets during the customisation process. Basically, the inputs you provided related to your unique child, will dictate the core concepts/themes featured in the book in both the text and the visuals. This gives you an idea of how your child’s unique traits and preferences will come to life in the story. Rest assured, our writers and illustrators work meticulously to create a book you and your child will adore.

Please understand this, as we are creating custom 1-of-1 books and we would rather sacrifice time, if it means ensuring a better quality and premium final product in terms of both the story content, and the physical book itself!
What if I need the book urgently? Do you offer express shipping?
Yes, we offer express shipping and priority printing for an additional fee. If you need your book urgently, simply select this option at checkout.
