ABOUT THIS BOOK

A storybook where your child is the hero

Children love finding themselves in a story. With this book, the hero on every page is a character inspired by your child’s photo, with their name woven through an original adventure about kindness, curiosity and finding where you belong.

Pick the world they would most like to explore: a garden, a dinosaur valley, the night sky, a coral reef or a lantern-lit forest. Then choose how it is told: short, gentle sentences for ages 3–5, or a longer, richer adventure for ages 6–8.

Who it’s for

A birthday keepsake, a Christmas surprise or a special gift from grandparents. The printed hardcover makes a lasting keepsake; the PDF is ideal for reading together on a tablet or sending to family abroad.

Good to know

Will the character look exactly like my child?

The character is a stylised illustration inspired by your photo, not a photographic copy. You approve the character before the book is made.

What photo should I send?

One clear, well-lit photo of your child's face, without sunglasses or anything covering the face. Only send a photo if you are their parent or guardian or have permission.

Which stories can I choose?

Garden, Dinosaur, Space, Ocean or Forest. Each order includes one story, written in a gentle version for ages 3–5 or a richer version for ages 6–8.

How long does it take?

We send a character proof and a cover proof for approval. Printing starts once both are approved; allow 1–2 weeks plus delivery for the printed book, or 3–5 working days for the PDF.

Is AI used to make the illustrations?

Yes. The illustrations are made with generative AI assistance and arranged by Moonlit Pages, and every book is checked before it is sent.

Why do I order this book on Etsy?

Etsy lets you upload your child's photo securely and keeps our proof messages in one place, so this book is ordered through our Etsy shop.

Prefer a book without a photo? Try The Dinosaur Adventure or The Snowman Christmas Story.

A few details make it theirs.
