How is this book personalized?
This exact story is finished and checked page by page. When you order, your child’s name takes the hero’s place — on the cover and through the whole story — and every illustration paints again with your child’s real look, from one photo. The photo itself is never saved.
Printing & shipping
Every copy is printed on demand as a premium 8.5×8.5″ picture book with 32+ pages. The hardcover ships free wherever we ship; softcover shipping is quoted at checkout before you pay.
What if I want something changed?
After your book is made you can ask us to repaint any page before it prints — and nothing goes to print until you approve the whole book.
Want a fully custom story instead?
This title keeps its story so you know exactly what you’re getting. For a one-of-a-kind story about your child’s real week, write your own in the wizard.
How your copy is made
Add a photo and a name
About two minutes. The photo is used once to draw your child’s character, then never saved.
We paint them into every page
The same story and scenes you see above, repainted so your child is the hero — cover to cover, the same face on every page.
Approve it, then it prints
You see the finished cover free, check every page, and only then does it print and ship to your door.
How your child gets into this book
The same way Frankie did. One photo, and every page of this story paints again with that face.
Now send your child’s photo. We paint them the same way and put them in this exact story — then the photo is deleted. Only the drawing is kept.
Painted in Claymation
The story, word for word
No surprises: this is the exact story your copy tells — with your child’s name in the hero’s place.
Read every word of the story
The full text of the sample book — your copy tells the same story with your child’s name in the hero’s place.
- 1Frankie wore a puffy coat, trousers, boots and bobble hat. Snowy stood beside Christmas lights.
- 2Frankie found a wooden sled. Snowy watched from the snowy garden, carrot nose pointing uphill.
- 3Frankie said, "I will show Snowy every Christmas wonder." Snowy blinked and smiled. Carrot nose, lead the way.
- 4Frankie climbed the big hill. Snowy sat on the sled, carrot nose first.
- 5Frankie pushed off. Whoosh, down the hill flew Frankie and Snowy, snow puffing around the scarf.
- 6At the frozen pond, Frankie skated beside Snowy. Carrot nose, lead the way.
- 7Near the pond, a few grey squirrels tossed snowballs. Frankie rolled one gently towards Snowy.
- 8Snowy missed the snowball. The carrot nose drooped. "Is the day finished?" asked Frankie.
- 9Snowy's slow blink told Frankie everything. Snowy needed rest.
- 10Frankie led Snowy home beneath Christmas lights. Snowy lifted twig arms beside the glowing gate.
- 11Snow began to fall. Frankie gave Snowy a goodnight hug beneath the glowing lights.
- 12Carrot nose, lead the way. Snowy rested safely at home beside Frankie. Sharing snowy days makes them magical.
