Personalized adventure
A Personalized Mermaid Book: Your Child Is the Hero
One splash and the world goes turquoise: coral towers, curious seahorses and a brand-new shimmering tail.
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.
Bath time has been rehearsal for this. Your child dives in and the sea makes room: a tail unfurls in their favorite color, a seahorse offers directions, and the reef throws the kind of glowing party only fish know how to throw. Somewhere below, a lost pearl is waiting to be returned to a very grateful oyster.
The mermaid or merboy in the pictures is your child, illustrated from your photo in the style you choose, name on the cover and all. Add a sibling as a fellow sea explorer. The book is ready to read the same day, digitally or as a printed softcover.
