Personalised Christmas books for children,
with them in every page.

That’s exactly why the preview is free. Your child is painted from your photo: face, hair, skin tone, even the clothes they really wear. You judge the likeness with your own eyes before paying anything. If something isn’t right, like the hair, the eyes or the glasses, tell us and we’ll put it right, free of charge.

An AI image model paints every page from your photo, in our watercolour style. A real person then checks every face, anything that is not right is repainted, and you see sample pages free before you pay a penny.

One clear, front-facing photo with their face easy to see — close up, in good daylight, looking at the camera, nothing in front of the face. The closer and clearer the face, the better the likeness on every page. You can change it later if the preview isn’t right.

It’s used only to paint your book, then deleted within 30 days of your book being finished — and within 90 days if you never go ahead. It is never used to train an AI model and never shared. No account is created. Our photo promise →

No. Pick a book, add one photo and type their name — about a minute. Every page is painted, a real person checks every face, and we print and post the book. No apps, no account, nothing to edit.

Yes, on the books with a family photo box: the Pocketful of Brave (starting school), the Big Kid Promotion (big sister or big brother) and Your Child’s First Christmas. Add a clear photo of each person and they are painted in too. More books are coming.

Baby's First Christmas is written for ages 1 to 3, the Night Before Christmas for 2 to 6, the Letter from Santa for 4 to 7 and The Night They Saved Christmas for 4 to 8. Every one is painted from one photo of the child, and you see painted sample pages free before you pay.

Yes, and it is the easiest one to order: you need the child's first name, whether the story says she or he, an age band and one clear photo (the one on your phone from the last visit is usually fine). No apps, no account, nothing to edit. It is painted, a person checks every page, you approve it, and the hardback is printed in Britain and delivered free in the UK.

We cannot guarantee delivery by Christmas. For the best chance of the printed hardback arriving in time, we recommend ordering by Monday 7 December and approving your finished book by Thursday 10 December: it is the day you approve the finished book that counts, not the day you order. Delivery dates are estimates, and December is the busiest time for printers and couriers. The free painted preview usually lands within the hour (a real person checks it first, so a late-night order is waiting in the morning); once you say yes, the whole book is painted and checked, normally within 24 hours, and sent to print in Britain. The ebook copy comes free with the hardcover the moment you approve it, so there is something to give on the day even if the post is slow.

£39.99 for the printed hardcover, delivered free in the UK — and you see your child painted in first, so you pay only if you love it. A second copy of the same book is £24.99. All prices →

The free preview usually lands within the hour — a real person checks every page before we send it, so if you order late at night it will be waiting for you in the morning. Say yes and the whole book is painted and checked, normally within 24 hours, with the ebook copy free the moment you approve it. The hardcover is printed in Britain and posted with tracking. It usually takes 7 to 11 working days after you approve: about 6 to print and 1 to 4 for the courier. This is an estimate, not a guarantee, and we do not promise delivery by a particular date. The weeks before Christmas can be slower: see our Christmas dates.
