A hardcover book for one child, without discount codes. Each brand is priced in its own store’s currency, without conversion: Looma in euros, I See Me! in US dollars from its US store. The price shown is the hardcover alone: for Looma, the required story purchase is named beside it, for I See Me!, its other covers. Delivery times are for different destinations: the continental US for I See Me! and Europe for Looma. "Not published" means the brand’s website does not give this fact.
Looma Stories draws each character from their photo, and you can adjust the result in a few words. In My Very Own Name, the personalization centers on your child’s name, spelled out by animals, with your message and a photo of your child printed on the first page.
