Inside the book

Sample spreads with the Christmas cast, not a child on their own.

What's the story?

Your child makes a Christmas present for someone they love, wraps it with far too much tape, and gets to watch them open it. The joy is in the giving.

How it works

Questions

When should I order for Christmas?

Most books arrive in about 2 weeks. Short on time? Choose the Digital PDF. Download it right after checkout, and anytime from your order page.

How does it work?

Upload one clear photo of your child, pick an art style, choose a Christmas story and preview the book before you buy. Your child is the hero, starring them by name.

Can Grandma or a sibling be in the story too?

Yes. Add family by name, like Grandma or a sibling. Use a group photo to add up to 4 more people beside your child, or add them as supporting characters.

Can I add a gift message?

Yes, on the paperback. Write a note of up to 100 characters and it prints on the back cover.

Can I change the words after I order?

Check your preview first. A printed book goes to print about an hour after you pay, and its text can't be changed after ordering.
