A Looma Christmas book is a 36-page illustrated holiday adventure in which the child is the hero, drawn from real photos, with siblings, cousins or grandparents as up to 5 characters. The eBook costs €3.99 and the premium hardcover €24.99 on top, printed and delivered in 10 to 14 working days in Europe, in 6 languages. You approve every page before it goes to print; order the hardcover by the date shown below to have it under the tree.
Under the tree, most presents are forgotten by mid-January. A book where your child is the hero of a Christmas adventure tends to stay out: it gets read on Christmas Eve, then again, and it comes back out the next December. A gift that turns into a small family tradition.
Make your child the star, add the brothers, sisters or cousins who will be there on the day, and we write an illustrated story for their age. You read it, adjust what you want and approve it. Wrap the hardcover under the tree, or give the eBook on Christmas morning if you're late.
Most personalized Christmas books print the child's name into a fixed tale with a generic character. Here the story is written for this child and the illustrations are drawn from their photos, so they really are in it. It is also not a photo book of the year: the photos become the illustrations of a Christmas story the child reads on Christmas Eve, and again the year after.

Frequently asked questions
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Order the hardcover by the date shown on this page: it is printed after your approval and delivered in 10 to 14 working days, in time to be wrapped. Later than that, the eBook is ready as soon as you approve the story, so there is always something to give on the 25th. Shipping to a country that is not listed? Ask us in the chat.
Can the story have a Christmas theme?
Yes. Choose a winter or holiday universe and the values you care about, and your child becomes the hero of their own Christmas tale, from a snowy rescue to a night helping the reindeer.
Can I include siblings and grandparents?
Yes, up to 5 characters. Brothers and sisters can share the adventure, and grandparents can join from a photo, which makes it a gift for the whole family.
Is the printed book nice enough to give?
It is a premium 36-page hardcover, printed after you approve every page. It is made to be unwrapped, read on Christmas Eve and brought back out next December.
From what age can my child be the hero?
From a few months old up to about 10. We adapt the tone, the length and the reading level to their age, so a toddler gets short, gentle sentences and a seven-year-old gets a real adventure with a few twists.
Can I preview it before printing?
Yes. Read the full story, change any sentence, redraw a scene if you want a different one, then order the print. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
How much does a personalized Christmas book cost?
€3.99 for the eBook, with edits and up to 12 illustration regenerations included. The premium hardcover is €24.99 on top, plus shipping calculated at checkout. No subscription.
How long does delivery take before Christmas?
The eBook is ready as soon as the story is approved, so it can still be given on the 25th. The hardcover is printed after approval and delivered in 10 to 14 working days across Europe (5 to 7 days of printing, then 5 to 7 in transit depending on the delivery method). To be safe, order by the date shown on this page, or ask us in the chat if your delivery country is not listed.
