Which fairy tale to give
Start with their age, or with what you’re celebrating. Every book stars the child you’re giving it to, and takes about 11–19 days to arrive.
Ages 4–6
Lots of repeating, so they join in by the third read, and just enough suspense. Your child is the polite one, the brave one, and the one who gets everyone home.

- BirthdayMost birthday presents are outgrown by the next birthday. A book with their own face on every page tends to come back out every year.
- ChristmasSomething to read on the sofa after the wrapping paper is cleared away, and to find again next December. Order by Nov 28 to have it in time.
- New siblingWhen a baby arrives, every visitor brings something for the baby. This one is for the older child, who gets to be the hero of the whole book.
- First day of schoolNew classroom, new teacher, a new peg for their coat. It helps to have read, a few nights in a row, about yourself walking into somewhere new and getting home fine.
- From grandparentsYou pick the fairy tale and write the dedication. We send the parent a private link to add a photo, so you don't have to ask for one and the photo never goes through you.
No photo of them? You don’t need one.
Start a gift and write your note. We’ll ask the child’s parent to add the photo privately, so you never have to ask for one.
