From this photo Starring Finn · Classic storybookFinn and the Missing Star
“It was Christmas Eve, and snow sparkled on every roof. Finn loved three things best: dinosaurs, hot chocolate, and the giant tree in the town square. Tonight, everyone would gather to switch on its lights, and the golden star on top would shine the brightest of all.”
“The snow started on Tuesday night and simply refused to stop. By morning it was up to the windowsills, up to the hedges, up to Maggie's ears. The radio rattled off the closings: school, the library, and, worst of all, the ice rink. No hockey practice. Jack pressed his nose to the cold glass and sighed so hard it fogged. Dad handed him a mug of cocoa. "Then we'll make our own fun," said Dad.”
“The snow began on Monday night. By morning it was up to Finn's knees, then his tummy, then nearly his nose! The school was shut. The shops were shut. Even the bus stayed snug in its shed. Finn pulled on his red boots. 'Best. Day. Ever,' he whispered.”
“On the night before the big tree lighting, Finn wiggled the gap where his first tooth used to be and hummed his carol. Maya hummed too, mostly the wrong tune. Pickles the grey cat purred along. Outside, snow fell softly on the town square, where the giant tree stood waiting.”
What you get
A picture book written and drawn around one child
-
Their face in every picture
One photo is enough. We draw their face, hair and skin into the cover and all twelve pages, so it looks like them, not a child who happens to share a name.
-
Eight Christmas adventures
Reindeer that won't fly, a letter that blows away, a missing star, a snowman with something to say. Pick one, or let the story surprise you.
-
Six art styles
Soft watercolor, classic storybook, cozy crayon, paper cut, 3D animated or clay. Every picture in the book is drawn in the one you choose.
-
Read in minutes, edit any page
The book opens in your browser, usually within ten minutes of checkout. Change a line you'd phrase differently, or ask for a picture to be drawn again.
-
Seek and find
A little friend hides in every picture, with a "can you find it?" line at the bottom of the page. Switch it off if you'd rather keep the pages plain.
-
A PDF to keep and share
Download the print-ready PDF, keep the private reading link, and share a view-only link with the grandparents whenever you like.

You decide the details
The story only knows what you tell it
Five short steps, and only a name, an age, a photo, an adventure and a style are required. You see every answer before you pay, and you can change the book after it is made.
- Their name and age, and one photo of them
- The adventure and the heart of the story: kindness, courage, sharing, believing
- A first look at the character, with a redraw if anything is off
- Special touches: a family tradition, a favourite toy, what they love
- The art style, the seek-and-find friend, and a dedication from you
- After it's made: edit the words on any page, three free redraws
The difference
Not all personalised books are the same
This isn't a name swap. It's their Christmas, with them in the pictures.
Keepsake
The book they'll ask for every Christmas Eve
A story about them, with them in it, read at bedtime by the people who made it happen. The kind of book that stays on the shelf long after the tree is down.
-
A cover with their name and their face on it
-
A dedication page with your words inside the cover
-
Twelve pictures in one style, with a hidden friend to find
-
A private reading link, and a share link for the family
-
A print-ready 8 x 8 inch PDF, yours to keep
Good to know
Questions parents ask before ordering
How long does it take?
Usually within 10 minutes of checkout. We write the story first, then draw the cover and the twelve pages. Your order page shows how it is going, and we email you the moment the book is ready to read.
What do I get?
A 12-page picture book with a cover, a dedication page and a back page: read online at a private link, edit any page, download the PDF, and share a view-only link with family. It is digital for now; a printed hardcover is coming.
What photo works best?
One child in the picture, face clearly visible, in good light, looking roughly at the camera. No sunglasses, hats or face paint. A plain phone photo is perfect; we only use it to learn their face, hair and skin.
What happens to the photo?
It is used only to draw the character and is deleted after 7 days. It never appears in the book, and nothing in the book is published unless you turn sharing on.
Can I change things once it's made?
Yes. Open the book at your private link and edit the text on any page as often as you like. If a picture is not quite right, ask for it to be drawn again: the first three redraws per book are free.
Is it printed?
Not yet. The book is digital: read online and a PDF to download. The PDF is 8 x 8 inches and print-ready, so a copy shop can bind it for you today. A printed hardcover you can order from us is coming.
What if the book can't be made?
If the story or the pictures cannot be made from what you gave us, the credits go straight back to your balance and we email you to say why.
Ready to put them in the story?
One photo and five short steps, and their Christmas book is on its way.
