Emma in yellow wellingtons at the end of a walled garden, a small green gate half-hidden behind rose bushes

Emma knew this garden by heart.

An example: the details a parent gives us, the character we draw from them, and a finished page.

Not a name in a template

Most personalised books swap in a name. We write the story around your child.

The story is written after you tell us about them, so what you share changes what actually happens — who finds the way, who makes everyone laugh, whose garden the gate appears in.

A template book
One story, printed a hundred thousand times. Your child’s name in the gaps.
A TaleForMe book
Their personality shapes the plot, their family and pets are characters, their favourite things matter to the ending — and the words are pitched to their age.

The part that makes it theirs

“Something special I’d like the story to be about”

One box, in your own words. It becomes the spine of the story rather than a detail in it.

  • She’s starting preschool next month.
  • He’s afraid of sleeping alone.
  • We’re having a new baby.
  • Grandpa lives in Australia.

How it works

Five minutes from you. A book they keep for years.

  1. Tell us about them

    Their name, their age, what they are like. Their sister, their grandad, the dog. It takes about five minutes and you can skip anything.

  2. Choose what the story is for

    A confidence boost, a gentle bedtime, big feelings, a first day at school — or pure adventure. Then tell us anything that makes this book matter right now.

  3. Watch their story come to life

    We write the story, design the character, and illustrate every page in the style you picked. It takes a few minutes; you can close the tab and come back.

  4. Read the preview free

    Read the opening pages on any phone or tablet before you pay a thing. Change any word, redraw any picture you can see, rewrite the dedication.

  5. Keep it forever

    Keep the digital book — yours forever, on any screen, with a print-quality PDF. Printed hardcovers on thick matte paper, with your dedication inside the front cover, are coming soon.

The same child on every page

Drawn once. Recognisable throughout.

We draw your child’s character first, and you can check it — and ask for another — before a word is written. Every page is then illustrated from that drawing — same hair, same face, same wellies — with the words set beneath in proper type.

Emma in yellow wellingtons at the end of a walled garden, a small green gate half-hidden behind rose bushes
Emma knew this garden by heart. Eleven roses. One wobbly step. Squelch, squelch went her yellow wellies. But today, behind the roses, there was a small green gate. And yesterday — Emma was quite sure — there had not been.
Emma knocking on the little green gate, one enormous friendly eye of Bracken the dinosaur appearing over the top of it
Knock, knock, knock. “Hello?” called Emma. “Is somebody in there?” Something rustled. Something rumbled. And an enormous eye peeped over the top of the gate.
Bracken the dinosaur lowering his head apologetically over flattened rose bushes while Emma laughs
“Oops,” said the dinosaur. “I’m Bracken. I was only smelling them.” Eleven roses lay flat as pancakes. Emma looked at the roses. She looked at Bracken’s guilty face. And she laughed until her tummy hurt.

From our example book Emma and the Secret Dinosaur Garden.

More than a personalised picture book

AI helps write the story. Good storytelling shapes it.

Every book is written to the same brief a good picture-book editor would give — so it reads well aloud, suits their age, and leaves them feeling seen.

These are storytelling choices, not a programme. A book to read together doesn’t replace teachers, therapists or professional support. How we write them

  • Written for their age

    Sentence length, words per page and vocabulary change across four age bands, from 1–2 to 7–9.

  • Words they can join in with

    Younger readers get a short refrain that returns through the book — the bit they’ll say before you do.

  • One or two lovely new words

    Introduced so the meaning is clear from the page, never a vocabulary list.

  • They do the solving

    Your child notices, decides and tries — and sometimes gets it wrong first. Bravery is shown, never announced.

  • Feelings named honestly

    A worry about school or a new baby is put into words on the page, then moved through gently.

  • Their world on the page

    Their family, pets and favourite places — the people who belong in their story.

Made with care for children’s privacy

  • Photos are optional. If you add one, it’s used once to draw their character, then deleted — within the hour, always.
  • Never used for training. Your child’s details and pictures are never used to train AI models and never made public.
  • Checked at every stage. What you write is screened before, during and after the story is written; nothing you type is sent to the image model.

How we keep it safe · Privacy

A story that belongs to them

Long after the toys are gone, there is a book on a shelf with their name on the cover, their grandmother in chapter three, and their dog on the very last page.

About five minutes · Nothing to pay until you’ve read it

Common questions

How long does a book take to make?

Your story is written and the opening spreads are illustrated within a few minutes. You can close the tab while it works — the book waits for you in your library. The pictures for the later pages are painted when you order, which takes a few minutes more.

Can I change the story afterwards?

Yes. Every word of every page can be rewritten before you order anything, and the title and dedication with it. The pages you can read now can also be drawn again as often as you like; the rest are illustrated when you order.

Do I need to upload a photograph?

No — describing them works just as well. If you do upload one, we use it once to draw a single original character, then delete it. Either way, every page of the book is drawn from that one character, which is what keeps them looking the same throughout.

What does it cost?

The digital book is €12.99, and there is no subscription. Printed hardcovers are coming soon — every book you make is saved, so you can order one for it later.
