A Looma personalized children's book is a 36-page illustrated story (32 pages of story) in which your child is the hero, drawn from your own photos on every page. You can add up to 5 characters, edit every sentence, regenerate up to 12 illustrations and approve the whole book before it is printed. The eBook costs €3.99; the premium hardcover is €24.99 on top, printed and delivered in 10 to 14 working days in Europe. Available in 6 languages, for children from a few months to about 10 years old.
Most children's books star someone else: a rabbit, a princess, a boy named Max who isn't your Max. A personalized book turns that around. Their name is on the cover, their face is in the illustrations, and the adventure is built around what they love. Children lean in when the story is about them, and they ask for it again the next night.
The best part is often the cast. Add a big sister, a grandad, the cat who sleeps on their bed: up to five characters, each drawn from a photo. You choose the art style, read the draft, change any line that doesn't feel like your family, and only then order the hardcover. What arrives is a real book, with a place on their shelf.
How is that different from other personalized books? Most name-only books drop a first name into a fixed story and use a generic cartoon child. Here the story is written for your child and the heroes are drawn from your photos, so they really are your children. And unlike a classic photo book, the photos are the starting point, not the end product: they become the illustrations of a story your child reads, not an album to flip through once.

Frequently asked questions
How is the book personalized?
You add up to 5 characters from real photos: your child, a sibling, a grandparent, even the family dog. Then you pick the theme, the universe and the values you care about. The story is written around them and every illustration is drawn from their photos, so the hero on the page really is your child.
Can I read the story before it is printed?
Yes. You read the whole story first, change any sentence and redraw the scenes you want different. Nothing goes to print until you approve every page.
Do I get a printed book or a digital one?
Both. The eBook comes first, as soon as you approve the story. The premium hardcover is the one that ends up on the shelf: 36 pages, printed after your approval and delivered to your door.
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.
How is the book illustrated?
The illustrations are made with AI assistance from the photos you upload, in the art style you choose, and reviewed by you. You can regenerate up to 12 illustrations and edit every line of text until the book reads the way you want.
Can I make more than one book?
Yes. Each book is a new story, so siblings can each have their own or share one as co-heroes. Cousins and friends work the same way.
How much does a personalized book cost?
€3.99 for the eBook, with every text edit 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?
The eBook is ready as soon as you approve the story. The hardcover is printed after your approval and delivered in 10 to 14 working days anywhere in Europe (5 to 7 days of printing, then 5 to 7 in transit depending on the delivery method). For a birthday or Christmas, allow four weeks.
