Milestones & Learning

Big moments, told as a story first.

Preschool, a new baby, the first night without the hall light: read about it together before it happens, with your child on every page.

Here’s how it goes

Nothing to figure out. One thing to do at a time.

1
Tell us who’s in it
Add a photo or a few words for each person, then tell us the moment coming up and where it will happen.
2
Pick the look, then read the story
Choose the drawing style. We write the story, and you change anything you like before any page of your book is painted.
3
See it before you pay
We paint the cover and two pages so you can see your book first. Then the whole book is drawn.

No account needed. You only pay once you’ve seen a preview of your book.

A finished example

Told by Mommy, for Oliver

Cover
A book of his own
Oliver’s story about becoming a big brother.
Page 1
A tiny hand holds on
The baby was very small and very loud. Oliver held out his best truck. A tiny hand grabbed his finger instead, and held on tight.

Pick one and your book starts with it already chosen.

How we make it yours

A few details from you, and the story fits your family down to the dog’s name.

Your child, on every page
Their name, their look and the people who love them, so the hero is recognisably theirs.
The moment you are facing
Day one at the gate, a baby due in spring, a dentist visit on Friday: your situation, not a general one.
What you hope for
Say what you would like the story to gently open up. You read and approve every page before it is illustrated.
