Still here when the candy is gone
The chocolate lasts a weekend. The book with their face joins the bedtime rotation.

An Easter basket guide beyond the candy
Every basket starts the same: chocolate, jelly beans, a plush rabbit. Here is how parents pick the one thing in the basket that lasts.
The Monday-after test
By Monday the chocolate is gone and the plastic grass is in the trash. The book with their face on it joins the bedtime rotation instead.
One anchor gift per basket
Candy fills the basket. One real gift anchors it. Parents pick something the kid still reaches for in June.
What it costs
$49.99 for the hardcover, shipping included, and the preview is free before you decide. That is candy money for five baskets, spent on the thing that stays.
Grandparents and the Easter box
If you mail a basket every year, this ships itself. One photo from the family chat, and the hardcover lands at their door.
For the kid who has enough sugar
Plenty of families are trimming the candy. A book where the egg hunt stars your kid fills the basket without another chocolate rabbit.
The reading payoff, long after the candy
Story Genie is a reading tool dressed up as a basket surprise. Here is what it keeps doing once the eggs are found.
The book they ask for
Kids reread the book they star in. Rereading builds early fluency, and this one gets requested by name.
Words that fit them
You set the reading level in the quiz. The story stretches them a little without losing them.
A lesson in the basket
Pick the value the plot carries, like sharing or patience. Kids listen differently when the hero learning it is them.
Spring after spring
Baskets get packed away. A hardcover with their name on the spine stays on the shelf all year.
Easter story ideas parents actually pick
Pick a world in the quiz, or type your own idea and the story takes shape around your kid. Spring settings do a lot of the work here.
The egg that would not be found
One golden egg outsmarted the whole neighborhood. One kid refused to quit looking.
The rabbit who overslept
The egg hunt almost did not happen. A kid in pajamas ran the whole thing before breakfast.
The garden door
A gate behind the tulips led somewhere new. A spring world with talking rabbits and one brave explorer.
The everyday adventure
It does not have to be an Easter story. A dinosaur or space quest lands just as well in a basket.
The sharing lesson
Pick sharing as the lesson and the plot carries it. A basket full of candy is the natural setting for that one.
Spring at grandma's
Write the family into the words. The story can visit the exact backyard where the hunt happens every year.
What to write in an Easter book
The dedication page outlasts the basket by years. Date it and keep it short. A few to start from.
Tap any line above to start, then say it your way. Copy it and paste it into the dedication page when you make the book.
How to write your own
Date it
Write the year in. Easter moves around the calendar, so the year is the anchor they will look for later.
Name one real detail
The egg nobody found, the dress with the pockets, the cousin who cried. One true detail beats ten adjectives.
Write like you talk
Read it out loud once. If it does not sound like you, cut words until it does.
Keep it short
Two or three sentences fit the page and get memorized. The best ones would fit on an egg.
Add your dedication when you build the book. Edit any word of it, right up until the book goes to print.
What age is a personalized Easter book for
Parents order for kids from about 2 to 10. Set the reading level in the quiz, and the same story meets them where they are.
Ages 2 to 4, read-aloud
Short lines with bounce, built for laps and post-hunt wind-downs. Easy to read twice in a row.
Ages 5 to 7, reading together
Fuller sentences they can sound out with you. Their own name in print does heavy lifting here.
Ages 8 to 10, reads alone
Longer pages with a chapter feel. The quiet hour after the sugar crash.
When to order an Easter book
Easter moves every year, so check this year's date first. The hardcover is at your door in 9 to 12 days.
Twelve days out: order now
Count back 12 days from this year's Easter Sunday and treat that as your deadline. Two weeks out is calmer.
Under 9 days: the preview move
The full digital preview is ready in about 3 minutes. Tuck a printed note in the basket, and the hardcover follows right after.
Way early: even better
Books do not spoil. Order in March and hide it with the baskets until the night before.

Common questions
Does it have to be an Easter story?
No. Any world works. Spring and garden settings are popular for the season, but the choice is yours.
Will it fit in an Easter basket?
It is an 8 by 8 inch hardcover, the classic picture-book size. It fits a standard basket with room to spare.
How fast can I get it?
The hardcover arrives in 9 to 12 days door to door, so order about two weeks before Easter.
Who writes and illustrates it?
Our AI writes and illustrates from the choices you make. Our team prints and binds the hardcover in the USA, and a real person reads every support email.
How many pages, and is it really hardcover?
24 or more illustrated pages, matte hardcover, heavyweight paper, printed and bound in the USA. Shipping is included in the price.
Is there anything religious in the story?
Only if you want there to be. You pick the world and the lesson in the quiz. Families make everything from a simple egg hunt to a story about gratitude and family.
What goes in an Easter basket besides candy?
This is the classic anchor-gift question. Parents pair the candy with one thing that lasts. A hardcover starring their kid fits the basket and stays out all spring.
What happens to the photo I upload?
It guides the illustrated hero, then it is deleted from our servers within 30 days. We never train AI on it and never share it.
