How it works

Every book starts with something that actually happened in your family. A Saturday morning, a first lost tooth, the night the cat knocked over the Christmas tree — anything you want your kid to remember in twenty years.

You write it out in a paragraph or two. Who was there, what happened, what made it stick. You don't have to write like an author — if you can tell a friend the story over coffee, we can turn it into a book.

We take your memory and turn it into a picture book. We write the story, cast your family as the storybook characters, and illustrate every page.

Your kids by name, your dog at the foot of the bed, the kitchen with the mug you always use — the small details you mentioned get drawn in. The main characters in the book look like the people you live with.

Before anything prints, you see the full book, start to finish. Every page, every illustration.

If a character doesn't look quite right, or a line lands wrong, or you want to change something — we'll adjust it. This is your family's book. Nothing ships until you're happy with it.

Once you've approved the book, we print and ship it. A hardcover storybook arrives at your door, with free US shipping.

You'll read it tonight, next week, at bedtime a month from now, and years from now when your kid pulls it off the shelf and wants to know if it really happened. These are the stories your family will keep coming back to.
