## Planning for Christmas Morning?

Every book is printed on demand and ships in **7–11 business days**. Order by **early December** to have it wrapped and under the tree with time to spare. Rush shipping is available at checkout for the late elves.

## The Most Magical Unwrap of the Morning

Between the piles of toys, one gift makes the whole room go quiet: a real hardcover book with their own face on the cover.

### "Santa Made This For Me?"

Sign the dedication from Santa and watch the Christmas magic double. A book about _them_, from the North Pole itself.

### A New Family Tradition

Many families re-read their Little Hero Book every Christmas Eve. A tradition that grows more precious as the kids do.

### One Gift, Zero Mall Trips

Created online in five minutes, delivered to your door. The most thoughtful gift on your list is also the easiest one.

## A Christmas Keepsake, Not Another Toy

By New Year's, most Christmas toys are already forgotten. A personalized Christmas book is different: it captures your child exactly as they are _this_ Christmas, their little face, their age, the things they love, printed in a hardcover built to last.

_"Christmas 2026, to our Lily, who still hears the sleigh bells. Love, Mom & Dad."_

Ten Christmases from now, it will still be on the shelf. And it will mean even more.

Peek inside

## Inside “Santa's Secret”

Five real spreads from the Christmas book. In your copy, the child on every page is your child, drawn from the photo you upload, and the names are your family's.

![Book spread: a girl stands on a chair to put a crooked gold star on top of the Christmas tree while her mom steadies her](https://littleherobook.com/images/previewpages/christmas/1.webp)

1/5 Christmas Eve. The star goes on crooked, and then comes the question every kid asks: "Mom, we don't have a chimney."

![Book spread: Santa steps out of a glowing ring of light in the Christmas tree as a girl and her mom watch, stunned](https://littleherobook.com/images/previewpages/christmas/2.webp)

2/5 The tree turns the way a door turns. First secret: every Christmas tree in the whole world is the same tree.

![Book spread: Santa holds out his broken pocket watch to the girl beside the lit tree](https://littleherobook.com/images/previewpages/christmas/3.webp)

3/5 His watch coughs, and the night starts running again. Four thousand houses left. "I'll help," she says. "Socks on," says Santa.

![Book spread: the girl dives head-first into Santa's sack and pulls out a red bicycle while Santa laughs](https://littleherobook.com/images/previewpages/christmas/4.webp)

4/5 The sack is not big, the sack is deep. She reaches in up to the ears and pulls out a bicycle. "That one is for Norway."

![Book spread: the girl places a handmade gold foil star on the tree and the whole tree lights up at once](https://littleherobook.com/images/previewpages/christmas/5.webp)

5/5 She makes a star out of one gold coin wrapper. Last secret: the door does not open for perfect stars. Only for made ones.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### When do I need to order for Christmas delivery?

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.

### Can the book be "from Santa"?

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.

### What ages is a personalized Christmas book best for?

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.

### How is the child personalized in the book?

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.

### Can I order for several kids or grandkids?

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.

### Do I get to approve the book before it prints?

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.
