A Personalized Book as a Christmas Gift

One present under the tree contains your actual child. Well, their adventure with Santa, but try telling them the difference.

We fill in the story idea for you. You can change every word.

Every page of your book is drawn in one of 10 art styles. These samples were created with LittleReaders, exactly as your pages will be.

Christmas stories are read differently: under blankets, by tree light, several times a night all through December. In this one your child rides the sleigh. Snow on the rooftops, reindeer with opinions, and the very last present of the night that only a kid-sized helper can deliver. It becomes the book that officially starts Christmas.

Order it any December morning and it is ready the same day, which is excellent news for busy elves. Choose a snowy art style, add siblings to the sleigh crew, read it digitally by the tree, and let the printed softcover take over every December after this one.

This is what we'll suggest when you start. Keep it, tweak it or replace it entirely.

How it works

1

Add your child

Add a photo or description and choose from 10 art styles. Prepare drafts for your child, siblings, parents and friends, or reuse saved portraits.

2

Shape the story

Start from the story idea on this page, keep what you like and change the rest. You choose the length: 16, 20 or 24 pages.

3

Read, edit and print

Review and pay for your book. We create any new portraits, then write and illustrate the story. When it is ready, edit pages, download the PDF or order a printed softcover.

Good to know

What does a personalized gift book cost?

From $7.20 for a 16-page book to $9.35 for 24 pages. New character portraits selected for the book are included and created after payment. Pay directly for each book, with no subscription. Prices are in USD; Stripe shows applicable tax and any local-currency option at checkout.

I need this gift soon. Will it be ready?

The book itself is ready about half an hour after you set it up, so a same-day digital gift is completely realistic. For a printed copy, allow extra days for printing and shipping; the digital version is yours to share right away.

Can I give it as a printed book?

Yes: books with 16 pages or more can be ordered as a 21 x 21 cm printed softcover for $19.99 plus shipping through our print partner Peecho. Many gift-givers read the digital copy together first and let the printed book arrive as the encore.
