Our storyStorylou, personalized books for kids
Who is Storylou?
Storylou is a small Canadian publisher that creates personalized picture books for kids: your child becomes the hero of the story, with their name, their face and, if you like, the people they love.
How do I create a personalized book?
Choose a story, add your child's name and two photos, the faces and nicknames of their loved ones in the story, then a dedication. We illustrate the book, our team checks it, then it is printed as a softcover or hardcover and delivered to your door.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the United States. You get a tracking number as soon as the book ships.
What happens to my child's photos?
Your photos are used only to illustrate this book. They are never published or sold, and are deleted 15 days after your book ships.
