Why a personalized book makes the best Christmas gift
Toys get lost under the bed by January. A book where your child is the hero gets read again and again — because the brave one walking through the moongate is them, with their own face, hair and smile on every page.
Each story is a gentle bedtime adventure that teaches a real, named way to calm down and drift off. Our stories aren't about Christmas, which means they get read all year — not packed away with the decorations.
Giving it from afar? Order online, and ship the printed hardcover straight to the child's door. The digital copy opens on any phone or tablet.
Make it a set: the matching ornament
Add a keepsake ornament with your child painted just as they are in their book — with their name and the year beneath them. $24.99 with US shipping — plus the digital storybook, a $9.99 value, FREE with purchase.
Durable 100% ceramic with a glossy finish, the same design printed on both sides, and a gold string included, ready to hang. Choose it after your free preview, or add it to a hardcover at checkout.
From one photo to the hero of the story
Real photo in, real page out — every skin tone, every hairstyle. Actual results, unretouched.

Questions parents ask
Is it a Christmas story?
No — it's a magical bedtime adventure starring your child, which makes a wonderful Christmas gift and keeps being read long after the holidays. Choose from three adventures: The Whisperwood Light, The Crystal Caves and The Cloud Kingdom.
When should I order for Christmas?
Order the hardcover by December 1 for delivery before Christmas in the US. The digital book is delivered within 24 hours, so you can still give it on Christmas Eve.
Can I see the book before I buy?
Yes. Upload a photo and we paint the cover and two inside pages as a free preview. You only pay if you want the full 32-page book.
What ages is it for?
The books are made for children aged 4 to 10.
Can grandparents order it?
Of course — you just need a clear photo of the child and the parent's permission to use it. The hardcover can be shipped straight to the child's home.
Is there a matching ornament?
Yes — your child, painted as they are in their book, on a glossy 100% ceramic ornament printed on both sides, with a gold string. It's $24.99 including US shipping (US addresses only), plus the digital storybook — a $9.99 value, FREE with purchase. Order by December 5 for Christmas.
Is my child's photo safe?
Every page is painted on hardware we own — the photo is never sent to a cloud AI service or any third party. It is used only to make the book and permanently deleted once your book is delivered, or within 3 days if an order is never completed. The finished book file is deleted 7 days after delivery.
