A Personalized Christmas Book Starring Your Child

Books are printed and shipped within 7–11 business days. To be safe for Christmas morning, order by early December. Rush shipping options are available at checkout for last-minute orders, but the earlier you order, the calmer your December.

Absolutely. The dedication page is yours to write. Sign it from Santa, from Mom and Dad, or from grandparents. Many families make the personalized book the special "Santa brought this just for you" gift under the tree.

Our stories are written by age group, from simple toddler tales to adventures for 8–10 year olds. Pick the age first and the story length, vocabulary, and themes will fit, whether it's their first Christmas with books or their tenth.

You upload a photo, and our illustration engine draws your child as the storybook hero: their face, hair, and smile on every page, not just their name dropped into the text. You can even add their hobbies and favorite things to the story.

Yes. Each book is created individually, so every child gets their own story starring themselves. Many families order one per grandchild for under the tree. Some stories also support two characters, so siblings can appear together.

Yes. Your book is generated in minutes and you can edit every word, regenerate any illustration, and preview all pages before confirming. Nothing prints until you're happy, and it's all backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Order by <strong>9 December</strong> and the slowest printing and shipping we offer still lands it before Christmas Eve. Between 10 and 15 December it can still make it, but only on the fast end of the window. After 15 December it will not arrive in time, and we would rather tell you that than take the order.

The hardcover is <strong>$34.99</strong>, plus $8 shipping in the US. That is the whole price: the story, the illustrations drawn from your photo, the editor, and the dedication page are all included. There is no per-page charge and no upsell at checkout.

Both the spelling and the depth are worth answering. Most "personalised Christmas books" print a name into a fixed story. Ours redraws your child from a photo so they are the character in every illustration, and their name, hobbies and favourite things go into the text as well.

It is one of the most common orders we get in November and December. Each book is made individually, so every grandchild gets their own story starring themselves. Grandparents usually sign the dedication page in their own words, which for a lot of families is the part that gets kept.

Yes, and it is a popular use. Order early enough that it is sitting at home well before the 24th, then put it in the Christmas Eve box to be read that night. The Christmas stories are written to be read in one sitting at bedtime.

It is printed as a real hardcover at 11 by 8.5 inches, 28 pages, on stock meant to survive a child handling it. The families who write to us tend to describe re-reading it the following Christmas, which is the test that matters more than anything we could claim here.

Some stories support two characters, so two siblings can appear together in the same book. Beyond two, the better result is usually a separate book each: every child gets to be the hero of their own story rather than sharing the part.

You pick the age group first, then the story. The Christmas title most families choose is <em>Santa's Secret</em>, in which a child discovers that every Christmas tree in the world is the same tree and ends up helping Santa finish the night. You can read the full preview before you buy anything.

Creating it takes about five minutes: pick the story, upload a photo, add their details, write the dedication. The AI generates the pages while you wait, and then you edit and approve. Printing and delivery is the long part, at 7–11 business days.

You can regenerate any illustration as many times as you like before confirming, and change any word of the text. Nothing is sent to the printer until you approve it. If the finished book still is not right, our satisfaction guarantee covers it.

Books are printed in the USA. The December deadlines on this page are calculated for US delivery; international orders need meaningfully longer, so order earlier than the dates above if the book is crossing a border.

Not yet. The stories, the editor and the printed book are English only. It is the most common request we get and it is on the list, but we would rather say no than ship a machine-translated bedtime story.

Each book is created and printed individually, so they may arrive on different days within the same window. If they are going under one tree, order them together and aim for the 9 December date rather than the tighter one.

The short version: the child is drawn from a photo rather than assembled from a menu of avatars, and you can edit every word before it prints. Most personalized book companies let you do one or the other. There is a full comparison of what each company charges and personalizes further down this page.
