Common questions
What exactly can I customize?
Pick the world, lesson, and art style in the quiz. Every preview comes with 3 free picture changes. Changing the words is always free. Once the book is yours, change anything as often as you like until it prints. Cast changes and renaming unlock with the book.
What is the difference between a custom and a personalized book?
Personalized usually means a name dropped into a template every other family also gets. Custom here means the story itself is written for your child, and you can change any of it.
Can I choose the illustration style?
Yes. You pick the style in the quiz: 3D, Anime, Watercolor, or Comic. Every preview comes with 3 free picture changes. Changing the words is always free. Once the book is yours, change anything as often as you like until it prints.
Can more than one child be in the book?
Yes. Siblings, best friends, parents, and grandparents can all join the story as illustrated characters.
How custom is the story, really?
It is written from your answers: the world you pick, the lesson you want, the details that make your child who they are. Two families never get the same book.

What happens to the photo I upload?
