How it works

Contents

  1. Tell us who is in it

    A few photos

    Enter your child's name and age and upload a few photos. Siblings or grandparents can join in too.

  2. Say what it should be about

    A few sentences

    Describe in a few sentences what should happen in the story, such as a trip into space or the first day at kindergarten. It becomes a story that suits your child's age.

  3. Read the finished book

    In your browser and as a PDF

    When the book is ready, you get an email. You can read it in your browser and download it as a PDF.

For special days

A book with your own child in the leading role soon becomes a favourite. Grandparents or godparents can make one too; a few photos of the child are enough.

Your child's photos stay in the EU

How your book is made

Questions and answers

All questions
Can I decide the story myself?

Yes. You describe in your own words what should happen, such as a trip into space or the first day at school. It becomes a story that suits your child's age.

Who can be in the book?

Your child and everyone who belongs in the story, whether grandma, a big brother or a best friend. The family pet can come along too.

Which photos do I need?

One to four photos per person, ideally from the front and in good light, each showing only that person. Photos from your phone are perfectly fine.

What happens to the photos?

We process them only in the EU and only for your book, for nothing else, and never to train AI systems. Big AI companies never get to see your pictures. We delete the original photos 30 days after delivery. How it works is shown under How your book is made.
