How can we help?

Everything you need to know about creating, editing, and ordering your child's personalized storybook.

About the Books

What kind of books do you make?+

100% personalized children's storybooks. Every story is written from scratch based on your child's name, age, hobbies, favorite food, family members, and any special event you want featured. Each book is unique — no two children get the same story.

What age range are the books for?+

Our books are designed for children aged 2-10. Sentence length, vocabulary, and themes adapt automatically to the age category you pick (toddler, preschool, early reader, middle grade).

How long is each book?+

Each book is 18 fully illustrated pages with the story text rendered directly inside the illustration — like a movie poster on every spread. A complete narrative arc (beginning, climax, warm ending) sized so a 5–8 year old can sit through it in one go.

Can I choose a theme?+

Yes — pick from 9 themes (Bestsellers, Adventure, Fairy Tales, Activities, Holidays, Family Events, Life Skills, Emotional / Social, Educational), each with multiple subjects. Dinosaurs, pirates, princesses, mermaids, baking, gardening, the first day of school — every subject creates a different adventure.

Do you offer therapeutic books for tough phases?+

Yes — we have a dedicated Bibliotherapy line for sleep issues, separation anxiety, tantrums, potty training, and more. The story still feels like a fun adventure, but a mentor character gently models a coping skill, and the final pages plant a quiet reflection seed. Created with child psychologists.

Creation

Creating Your Book

How long does it take to create a book?+

The wizard takes about 3 minutes to fill in. The story options appear within seconds, you pick your favorite, and full illustration generation runs in the background — most books are ready to read in 5-15 minutes.

What illustration styles are available?+

Nine styles: Vector Art, 3D Animation, Folk Art, Anime, Paper Cut, Clay, Kawaii, Lego, and Classic Storybook. Pick the one that matches your child's vibe — every illustration in the book stays consistent in that style.

Can I add family members and pets?+

Yes — add parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, and pets as named side characters with photos. They'll appear naturally throughout the adventure, with your hero always at the center.

Can I upload a photo of my child?+

Yes. The photo is used as a reference so the illustrated hero looks consistently like your child across all pages. You can also pick gender, age, and skin tone manually if you'd rather not upload a photo.

Which languages are supported?+

Currently English and Dutch. We pick the language from your account preference (you can change it any time in Settings or via the globe icon).

Editing

Editing & Customization

Can I change the story text?+

Yes — open the book in your dashboard and tap any page to edit the text inline. Save immediately, no regeneration needed.

Can I regenerate an illustration?+

Yes. From the dashboard reader, request a redo on any page (optionally with a custom note like 'show the dragon from a low angle'). Previous versions stay accessible if you change your mind.

Can I restart the wizard for the same book?+

Yes — the dashboard has a 'Restart' option that re-opens the wizard with your previous answers pre-filled, so you can tweak just one or two things and regenerate.

How long are my files available?+

Your photos and digital book stay in your account indefinitely while it's active. We recommend downloading the PDF after creation as a backup.

Pricing

Pricing & Payment

How much does a book cost?+

Three options on every book — a digital PDF for {pdf}, a hardcover-only edition for {hardcover}, or the PDF + Hardcover bundle at {bundle} (saves vs. buying both separately). Prices update automatically based on your selected currency.

Can I upgrade from PDF to hardcover later?+

Yes. After a digital purchase, you'll see a hardcover upgrade option in your dashboard at the discount-bundle price. Same book, premium printed edition shipped to your door.

What payment methods do you accept?+

All major credit / debit cards plus iDEAL, Bancontact, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other local methods through Stripe. Payment data never touches our servers.

Can I get a refund?+

Because each book is uniquely personalized, refunds aren't possible after the story is generated. Buy the digital PDF first to review the result before ordering a hardcover. If something is genuinely wrong with your book, email us — we'll regenerate or fix it free.

Shipping

Shipping & Delivery

How long does shipping take?+

Hardcover books are printed on demand and typically arrive within 5-10 business days. You'll get a tracking link via email when the order ships.

Do you ship internationally?+

Yes — worldwide. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout based on your country.

What is the print quality like?+

Hardcover edition: 170 gsm matte interior paper, full-bleed laminated hardcover, 21 × 21 cm square format. The print fidelity matches what you'd find in a bookstore — saturated illustrations, deep blacks, no banding.
