A Personalized Book as a New Baby Gift
Onesies are outgrown by summer. A book with the baby's name on the cover is still read at six, and kept at twenty-six.
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.
The best newborn gifts think ahead. A personalized book starts as a keepsake for the parents (there is a lot of happy crying the first time it is read, we hear) and grows into the child's favorite proof that they were the hero from day one. Their name is in the title, their family is in the story, and the whole thing began before they could hold up their own head.
Made from a single photo in a soft art style of your choice, with parents, grandparents or a proud big sibling in the cast. The digital book is ready in about half an hour; the printed softcover, wrapped together with the tiny socks, steals the baby-shower show.
The story idea, ready to go
Welcoming the new baby home and showing them all the wonderful things about the family
This is what we'll suggest when you start. Keep it, tweak it or replace it entirely.
How it works
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.
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.
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.
Your child's next favorite book is one photo away
Set it up in a few minutes. The book is written, illustrated and ready to read in about half an hour.
