Questions parents ask
- What ages is it for?
- From babies (0–1) up to age 12. Each story shows the ages it is written for, and the words, length and rhythm follow the age you pick.
- Will it really look like my child?
- Your child is drawn once from their photo, and every page is drawn from that same drawing, so it is the same face on every page. You can redraw a picture yourself on your book page, two fresh tries a page. If you still can't recognise your child, we fix it or refund you.
- Can family and pets be in it?
- Yes. Your child is the star, and up to 4 family members or friends and 2 pets can join in, each from their own photo. They cost nothing extra.
- How long does it take?
- The ebook arrives by email in about 30 minutes. Once you have read it, you can order it printed: £20 softcover or £28 hardcover, with tracked UK delivery, in about 2 weeks.
