Personalized books for kids ages 6 and up

A six or seven year old wants a plot: a night with something at stake, a problem to solve, a hero who does something brave. These picture books have that, and the hero has the child's own face.

The books

  1. Superhero (ages 3 and up): Cape, mission, and their real face on every page. “That’s me!”
  2. Into space (ages 3 and up): Rocket, helmet, zero gravity: a space mission with their name on it.
  3. I'm a Superhero (ages 6 and up): A star that fell in the backyard, a bath towel that fills with wind, and one night to learn that a real hero is someone who is scared and goes anyway.
  4. My Dog's Secret Life (ages 3 and up): At night, the family dog has a whole other life. Your child discovers it, shrunk down small as a kitten, riding on his back at a gallop.
  5. The Land of My Feelings (ages 3 and up): A glowing otter takes your child to the land of their feelings: anger, fear, sadness and joy each have a face, and every one of them has a job.
  6. My Christmas with the Little Reindeer (ages 3 and up): On Christmas Eve, a tiny reindeer tumbles off the sleigh with the whole town's bag of presents. Your child helps catch up with Santa, and believes hard enough for two.
  7. My Bug-Sized Adventure (ages 3 and up): A drop of dew, and your child shrinks! At bug height, they cross ferns, a river and the night to help the shyest firefly light her lantern again.
  8. My Castle and the Little Dragon (ages 3 and up): One morning, the castle bell stops ringing and the sun refuses to rise. Your child, pink cape on their shoulders, investigates with a little dragon who hiccups sparks. Everything is solved by listening, with no sword and no rescuer.
  9. My Beach Vacation (ages 3 and up): 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.
  10. My pet, my hero (ages 0 and up): The dog, the cat (or the goldfish) sets off on an adventure with your child.
  11. Big feelings (ages 3 and up): They learn to recognize anger, fear and joy, as the hero of the adventure.
  12. Thank you, teacher (ages 6 and up): The classroom as the backdrop, the teacher as the hero. THE end-of-year gift.
  13. Christmas Eve (ages 3 and up): On Christmas Eve, Santa needs help: your child becomes his teammate.
  14. Our year (ages 6 and up and adults): The family's last 12 months, volume after volume, year after year.
  15. Their own story (ages 3 and up): Does your child already have an idea? Tell us the plot: we write the story with you.
  16. Daddy and me (ages 3 and up): The moments just between them and their dad, illustrated with both their faces. The gift Mom gives for Father's Day.
  17. Mommy and me (ages 3 and up): The moments just between them and their mom, illustrated with both their faces. The gift Dad gives for Mother's Day.
  18. The big tantrum (ages 3 and up): When the volcano erupts, the hero learns how to cool the lava down. A story to reread right before the next meltdown.
  19. The Tooth Fairy night (ages 3 and up): Their first lost tooth becomes a nighttime adventure, with their real room, their real face and their real tooth under the pillow.
  20. My hospital stay (ages 3 and up): The surgery or hospital stay, told with their own face, so the big day becomes a path already familiar.
  21. Stronger than the teasing (ages 6 and up): The hero gets through the teasing, finds real friends and finds their voice again. No lecture, no pity: an adventure they come out standing tall from.

Picture books that still fit a 6 to 8 year old

These are twelve-page illustrated books, written for ages 3 to 8. A child of 6, 7 or 8 reads them alone or aloud to a younger sibling, and the stories are built on what they care about: being brave while being scared, a dog with a secret night life, a Christmas Eve that depends on them. An older child may find a picture book young.

How the face gets into the book

You send one clear photo and tell us whether the hero is a girl or a boy. Their face is drawn on the cover and on every page, with their first name in the text. You see the cover and the first pages with their face before you pay, and you approve every page before it is printed. Photos are deleted within 30 days.

Printed from $44.99, shipping included. PDF $19.99.
