Personalized Christmas storybook · One child, one story

Your child is the hero of this Christmas story.

Send us one photo. We paint your child into a 14-page watercolor Christmas adventure — their face, their name, and a story that ends with them saving Christmas. A narrated read-aloud version comes with it, free.

From photo to storybook

Every book starts the same way: one ordinary photo of your child.

Step 1
You send a photo
One clear, front-facing photo — a phone snap is perfect. No studio, no costumes.
The boy as a watercolor portrait in red snowflake pajamas
Step 2
We paint your hero
Their face becomes a watercolor portrait — the anchor we carry through every page, so it's recognizably them from cover to cover.

Step 3
The adventure begins
The same hero, page after page, inside a Christmas Eve story written around their name.

Honest note: this walkthrough was made from a stock photo so you can see the whole process. Your book starts from your child's real photo, and the likeness is checked by a person on every page.

Photo tips & privacy

Two minutes here makes a better book — and your photo stays yours.

A photo that paints well

  • Front-facing, eyes open, looking at the camera.
  • One child in the photo, face big in the frame.
  • No sunglasses, and no hat shadow across the face.
  • Plain background if you can — a wall works wonders.
  • An ordinary phone photo is fine. Really.

What we do with it

  • Your photo is used only to paint this one book.
  • We never sell it, post it, or use it to train anything.
  • Our working copy is deleted within 7 days of delivery.
  • The finished book is yours — print it, share it, keep it forever.
  • Please only send a photo of your own child, or one you have the guardian's permission to use.
