Personalized gift
A Personalized Book for St. Nicholas Day
Boots polished, window checked twice, one child far too excited to sleep. December 6th finally gets its own book.
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.
In homes that keep St. Nicholas Day, the evening of December 5th has its own electricity. This story bottles it: your child polishes their boots until they gleam, sets them just so by the window, and lies awake listening for hoofbeats. The morning delivers tangerines, chocolate and the glow of a tradition passed down one more time.
Your child is the illustrated star, made from one photo in the art style you choose, and grandparents, often the keepers of this tradition, make a lovely surprise cast. The book is ready the same day: digital right away, printed softcover for boots-side reading every December 5th.

Polishing boots for St. Nicholas Day and waking up to find them filled with treats

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.

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.
