Creating a personalised storybook takes just a few minutes. Here's how:

Step 1 - Customise

Tell us about the child: their name, age, gender, and a little about their interests. Then pick an adventure theme and illustration style.

You can also add up to two supporting characters, like a parent, sibling, grandparent, best friend, or pet, to make the story even more special.

Step 2 - Upload a photo

Upload a clear, front-facing photo of the child (and any supporting characters). We use this to create personalised illustrations throughout the book.

For best results, make sure only one person is visible in each photo.

Step 3 - Preview your story

Once your book is ready, we'll send you an email to let you know. Open your dashboard, and you'll see a panel where you can read through the full story and illustrations.

You can approve the book or request changes before it goes to print.

Step 4 - We print and deliver

After you approve your book, we print it within 2-3 business days and deliver it to your door within 5-7 working days, with free delivery across South Africa.

You'll receive tracking updates along the way.

If you ordered a printed edition (Softcover or Hardcover), you'll also get free access to the Digital Edition, which you can share with family and friends.

If you chose the Digital Edition only, it's available straight away.

That's it - a personalised keepsake book, made just for them.
