Tell us how you met. We’ll write and illustrate a beautiful children’s book about the love story that made your family — whether your baby is here, still on the way, or you’re giving this as a gift for someone who’s expecting.
No design skills. No writing. Just the bones of your story, a few photos, and about ten minutes.
A warm, guided questionnaire — not a wall of blank fields. We ask the right questions and you fill in the small, specific, weird, wonderful details that make the story yours.
Two to four pictures of the parents, plus optional snapshots from key moments. Our illustrators draw stylized characters that look like you and ground every scene in your real story.
A 16, 24, or 36-page hand-illustrated fairytale, delivered as a digital PDF or a real printed hardcover. Heartwarming on the surface. Quietly funny underneath. Yours forever.
From short and sweet to every detail — choose the length that feels right. Digital for instant keepsakes. Hardcover for the long shelf.
A children’s book that adults will actually enjoy reading aloud. Sweet on the surface. Knowing winks underneath. You pick the dial.
He got about a third of the way through before he started crying. Iris said yes before he got to the question. Sam will tell you it was very romantic. Iris will tell you it was a Tuesday. Both of them are technically correct.
A fictional couple, a real example of what your book will feel like.
For Olive —
Before you were you, this was the story.
Now you’re here, and it’s the best part.
Once upon a time, in a city that was loud but tried its best, there lived a woman named Iris.
She liked her tea too hot, her novels too long, and her plants slightly more than was strictly reasonable.
Across the very same city, in a kitchen with a stubborn toaster, there lived a man named Sam.
The toaster burned the toast. Sam ate it anyway.
Both of them were perfectly fine on their own.
(Both of them would later disagree with that.)
One Saturday in October, a small machine made a quiet decision.
Iris’s phone buzzed. You and Sam matched.
Sam’s phone buzzed too. He stared at it for a long moment, then went and ironed a shirt he hadn’t worn since a wedding. They agreed to meet at four o’clock.
Sam arrived at three.
(He’d say it was so he could find a good seat. We all know it was nerves.)
At five past four, the door swung open. Iris walked in — slightly out of breath, slightly windswept — and holding the same book.
She stopped. He stopped. A barista, sensing fate, charged them for a third coffee neither of them ordered.
You pick a tier and check out. The expecting couple gets a private link to fill in their story themselves — in their own words, with all the details only they know. When they’re done, we write and illustrate the book. You get the credit for the most thoughtful gift at the shower.
Pick The Essential, The Classic, or The Deluxe. At checkout, select “I’m buying this as a gift.” You can add a personal message.
The couple receives a private link and fills in all the details — how they met, the little things only they know, their baby’s name (or the nickname they’re using until the big reveal).
We write and illustrate their book, personalized with everything they gave us. It ships to them — a keepsake they’ll read to their child for years.
Works whether the baby has arrived or is still on the way · No spoilers required
