Frequently asked questions
What is a personalized Christmas story?
A Christmas story written for one child: their name, age, what they love and the people who matter to them. The pictures are drawn from your photos, so it is really them on every page, not a stock character.
What is the story about?
What you choose. First snow, a trip to the Christmas market, a night helping the reindeer, Advent at the grandparents'. Give us a few ideas and the values you care about, and we write a story that fits one bedtime.
Who can be in it?
Up to 5 characters: your child, brothers and sisters, a cousin, grandparents, even the dog. Each one is drawn from a photo.
What age is it for?
From a few months to about 10. Tone, sentence length and reading level follow the child's age: short and gentle for a toddler, a real adventure for a seven-year-old.
Can I edit the story?
Yes. Read the whole story, change any sentence and have a scene redrawn if you want it different. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
Which languages?
English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or German. Handy when the grandparents read in another language.
How much does a personalized Christmas story cost?
€3.99 for the eBook, with edits and up to 12 illustration regenerations included. The premium hardcover is €24.99 more, shipping calculated at checkout. No subscription.
Will it arrive for Christmas?
The eBook is ready as soon as you approve the story, so it is always in time for the 25th. The hardcover is printed after approval and then shipped: order it by the date shown on this page, or ask us in the chat if your delivery country is not listed.
