Create a new story

Three steps, and it's in their hands

  1. Pick or invent their story

    Start from one of our stories and change whatever you like, or invent a brand-new one at the same price. The book can be written in more than 25 languages.

  2. Make it their book

    Their name, their age and three photos. Add up to three loved ones with their photos if you like, such as Grandma, a friend or the dog, and your dedication on the first page.

  3. Receive a real book

    We illustrate the story with their face and our team checks the book. It is then printed, as a hardcover or softcover, and delivered to your door anywhere in Canada.

Is it a real book or a PDF file?

A real printed book, delivered to your home: 30 pages of 20 × 20 cm on 170 gsm silk paper, as a hardcover or softcover. We don't sell a PDF version.

What can I personalize?

Almost everything: your child's name and face, their age, the book's language, the story itself and what it teaches, up to three loved ones with their photos (a parent, a grandparent, a friend, the dog…) and your dedication on the first page.

Can I invent my own story?

Yes, at the same price. Tell us in a few words what the story is about and what it should teach: we write it and illustrate it for your child.

Which photos should I send?

Three recent photos of your child: one facing the camera, one from another angle and one more, face well lit, no sunglasses or filters. With several photos, the illustration truly looks like them. For loved ones, photos are optional: without a photo, we imagine them; if you add some, add three.

What age is it for?

From 0 to 11, starting at birth. The text adapts to the age you choose: short sentences for little ones, more adventure for older kids.

What language is the book written in?

In the language of your choice: French, English, Arabic, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese, Vietnamese and more than 25 languages in all. The whole story is written and printed in that language.

Where do you deliver, and how fast?

Anywhere in Canada, in 5 to 12 days depending on your address. Shipping is $12, and it's free on 2 books or more.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes. Your dedication is printed on the first page. In the cart, tick “It's a gift”: the parcel ships with no price inside, straight to the address you choose in Canada.

What happens to their photos?

They are used only to illustrate their book. They are never published or sold, and are deleted thirty days after shipping.
