Full refund until you approve the story.

A sample in the 3D animated film style. Mei is a made-up child.

How it works

  1. Choose a digital book, a hardcover or an animated story.
  2. Add two clear photos. We draw your child in every style for you to choose from.
  3. Pick a style. Your photos are deleted straight away.
  4. Choose and approve the story, then we draw all 25 pages.

Read a few pages

This is Mei. We made her up to show you the style. In your book, every picture is of your child, and the story uses their name.

These pages are in soft watercolour. You can also choose bright flat colour or a 3D animated-film look, like the one at the top. Each page has English first and Chinese below, if you choose both.

Your photos are deleted once you choose a style

We use them only to draw your child’s character. As soon as you choose a style, we delete the photos and email you to confirm. Every page of the book is drawn from the character, not from the photos.

Questions parents ask

What if the character doesn’t look like my child?

You see your child drawn in every style, and you can ask for up to three tries of each. If none is right, ask for a full refund.

When do I pay, and can I get a refund?

You pay first, by card or PayNow, then we make the book. Until you approve the story, you can ask for a full refund at any time. After that, you get up to three free page redraws.

Can I choose the language?

Yes: English only, or English with Simplified Chinese on every page. You can also give your child’s name in Chinese characters.

What age is it for?

Our first stories are written for children aged 3 to 7, to read together or on their own.

Start with their name. It takes about five minutes.
