Questions
What if my job is hard to explain?
That is the fun part. We turn the real work into an adventure a child understands, so an office job feels as exciting as a fire truck.
Do I need to upload photos?
No. You describe their hair, pick a skin tone and glasses, and we draw the characters from that. Handy when the book is a gift and you don't have photos.

Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends make these all the time. Tell us about the child and their parent, add a dedication from you, and ship it to your place or theirs.

Shipping to Canada or the US is C$9.99 for one book, and free when the order has 2 books or more. Every package comes with tracking.
How long until it arrives?
Each book is made one at a time. It is printed in about 3 to 5 business days, then shipped with tracking. Most books arrive within about two weeks.
Which languages can the book be in?
English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and dozens more. You pick the book's language when you create it, whatever language you read this site in.
