A birthday present where the child is the hero

Toys are forgotten by the next birthday. A book where the child is the hero is read again and again, and kept. Tell us what the child likes and who usually comes along on their adventures, upload a photo, and get an illustrated story in a few minutes.

Choose what the book should be about

A year to remember, in a book of its own

A birthday is a receipt for a year gone by: new words, new friends, a lost tooth or a first swim. In a personalised book that year becomes a story. The child is the main character, brothers, sisters and pets can come along, and what has happened during the year is woven into the plot. The pictures are drawn from a photo, so the child recognises themselves on every spread. The book is both a present and a memory, something to take out on the next birthday and see how much has happened since.

Choose an adventure to match the child's interests

Does the child love dinosaurs, space or horses? Choose one of our themes, such as pirates or space, and tell us what the child likes. To see how it could turn out, browse the examples or take inspiration from our book ideas.

Birthday: a gift that lasts

The eBook is ready a few minutes after you have paid, so it works even when the party is tomorrow. Give it digitally, or order it as a hardback.

A foreword that lasts

Write a foreword from you as the giver: a few lines about the child and the year gone by, which the child can read again in ten years' time. If you need help with the words, we suggest three forewords based on what you have told us. The eBook can be read straight away, and you order the hardback book when you are happy; see the prices. Allow one to two weeks for printing and delivery.

A present that outlasts the party

Most of what is on the birthday table has been eaten, played with or forgotten after a week. A book where the child is the hero stays on the bookshelf. It is read at bedtime, shown to grandma and taken along to nursery. And when the child is grown, it is a memory of what it was like to turn four, six or ten.
