Questions and answers

Do I have to pay right now?

No. There's no checkout on this page. You tell us about the kid, we finish the book by hand and email it to you. If you want to keep it, we'll tell you how.

Is this actually AI?

Yes — for the first draft of the words and the pictures. Then a human editor rewrites the story and approves every page before you ever see it. We broke down exactly who does what above.

How long does it take?

We'll give you a date when we reply. Every book is finished by hand, so we take a limited number at a time — we'd rather tell you a real date than a fast one.

Can I change something I don't like?

Yes. Reply to the email with what's wrong and we'll redo it.

Do you need a photo?

It helps, but it's not required — plenty of people just describe the kid. You don't upload it here: mention in the form that you have one, and we'll ask for it by email when we get back to you.

What ages is this for?

We write for 3 to 8. Younger kids get read to; older kids read it themselves.

Will it get here in time for Christmas?

The digital book arrives by email, so even a late order works — you can read it on a tablet or print it at home on the day. Hardcovers have to be printed and shipped, so tell us the date you need it by and we'll confirm whether we can make it before you commit to anything.

How long is the book?

24 pages, cover to cover. It's a full picture book, not a few pages stapled together.

What's the difference between the $9.99 and the $39.99?

It's the same book either way — same story, same illustrations. $9.99 gets you the print-ready PDF by email. $39.99 gets you that book printed and bound as a hardcover and shipped to you.

Can I print it myself?

Yes. The PDF is print-ready and it's yours to keep, so you can print it at home or at a print shop as many times as you want.
