About My Beach Vacation

On the beach, the sea has gone away and won't come back. A pebble with a hole in it opens a secret door to a kingdom under the beach, where a great Tide is sleeping a little too long.

Ages 3 and up. A cover and 12 illustrated pages, with the child's first name in the story and their face on every page. You tell us whether the hero is a girl or a boy and the text adapts.

A page from the book

On the beach, the afternoon stretches out. Sam hunts for seashells, but the sea has gone far, far away, much farther than usual. Under the umbrella, the grown-ups are napping. In the wet sand, Sam finds a flat pebble with a hole in it. He blows across it: fweeee! A sound as soft as a flute, which makes the seagulls turn their heads.

That is page 1, with the example hero. In your book it carries the first name you choose.

How it works

  1. Upload one clear photo of the face and type the first name.
  2. See the cover and the first pages with their face, free.
  3. Order if you love it, review every page, approve, and it goes to print.

The photo is used only to draw the faces in this one book. It is never reused and is deleted within 30 days. After you order, you get 5 touch-ups if a page needs fixing.
