Why a custom book makes a good birthday gift
Toys get outgrown, but a book with your child's face on the cover gets read again and again. It also gives you a story to read together on the big day.
You can build the story around the birthday itself, a favorite adventure, or a simple day in their life. You choose the story idea and can edit the text on every page.
Add the people they love
A family story can include up to 5 people and 1 pet, so siblings, parents, grandparents, and the family pet can all join the birthday adventure.
Printed or instant
Order a printed hardcover to wrap, or a digital PDF you can share the same day. If the birthday is close, the instant PDF means you never miss the date. Printed books are made on demand, so order early.
