A birthday book with them in it
Most birthday presents are outgrown by the next birthday. A book with their own face on every page tends to come back out every year.
Why it works for birthday
- Your words go at the front of the book
- Write the dedication yourself. We print it exactly as you type it, so check the spelling of Great-Aunt Mabel.
- You see it before you pay
- Make a free preview first. Once you order, you approve the finished book before anything is printed.

Giving it to someone else’s child? You write the note, the parent adds the photo.
Choose the story and write your dedication. We send the child’s parent a private link to add a photo, so you never have to ask them for one.
Start a gift“Happy birthday! You’re not too big, not too small. You’re just right.”
- The book matches the preview. We print the same pages you approved.
- Same face on every page. You approve the drawing of your child before we make the rest.
- Printed in 3–6 business days after you approve (7–10 in the holiday rush). Made to order. The shipping is already in the price.
- Photos deleted on a timer. Within 72 hours of upload, and we never use them to train AI.
- Reprinted if it’s wrong. Send us a photo of the problem. You don’t post the book back.
Questions people ask
Will it arrive in time for the birthday?
Plan on about 11–19 days from order to door. That includes the time we take to make every page and the time you take to approve it. You'll see an arrive-by estimate before you pay.
Can I add a birthday message?
Yes. Write your own dedication and we print it at the front of the book.
Can I order for a child who isn’t mine?
Yes. Choose “Give it as a gift” and we'll ask the child’s parent to add the photo privately.
