A book that grows up with Max.
One hero, illustrated around your child: same face on the fridge door at 3, at 6, at 9. New chapters arrive as they grow.
Their book, in three small steps
About two minutes. Less time than the bedtime negotiation.
Name, age, hair, the things they love right now. No photos: the hero is illustrated around your child, not copied from them.
The full book arrives within 24 hours, usually the same evening. If a detail you entered was applied incorrectly, we correct it free, always.
Each birthday, a new chapter: same hero, one year older. The story keeps pace with the kid on the sofa next to you.
Most personalized books are one and done. This one comes back every year.
Max at 4 fights the dark under the bed. At 6, the first-day-of-school nerves. At 9, the friend who moved away. Same hero, same shelf: a series they watch themselves grow through.
No photos needed. Ever.
You never upload your child's face. We build the hero from what you tell us: curls, glasses, the dinosaur obsession. The character is unmistakably theirs without a single photo leaving your phone.
Your details are used to make one book, for one kid. Never sold, never shared, deleted on request.
Start Max’s story
Every book: 8.5 inch square, 32 pages with their 22-page story plus keepsake activity pages, matched to their exact age. Right now the digital edition is free for founding families; print keepsakes are coming soon.
The full book as a beautiful PDF. Read it on the tablet at bedtime or print at home. Free for founding families during launch week.
A light, bendy copy for the diaper bag and the backseat. Printed editions are almost here; every digital book made now can be printed the day they launch.
Thick matte pages, stitched spine, made to survive a thousand bedtimes. Printed editions are almost here.
One new book each year for three years, arriving around each birthday. The same hero, drawn a year older each time. Any titles. Skip or delay anytime.
A printable pack from the same art as their book: door sign, name banner, sticker sheet, hero award, and activities matched to their age, from point-and-say first words to coloring quests.
Every book is final as illustrated. We do not redo artwork for taste. If a detail you entered was applied incorrectly (name spelling, hair, skin tone, glasses), we correct it free, always.
Questions parents ask
How does it look like my child without photos?
You describe them: hair, skin tone, glasses, favorite things. Our character system builds a hero around those details, and the resemblance is the point: unmistakably theirs without a single photo leaving your phone.
What ages does it work for?
Ages 0 to 10. The story, vocabulary, and reading level are tuned to the age you enter: under-the-bed monsters at 4 read very differently from moved-away friends at 9.
Is the 3-Book Journey a subscription?
No. You pay once, and one new book arrives each year for three years, around each birthday. Skip or delay anytime, it never expires, and there is no subscription billing, ever.
When will it arrive?
The digital book arrives within 24 hours, usually the same evening. Softcover and hardcover keepsakes are coming soon; every digital book made now can be printed the day they launch.
What if something is not right?
Every book is final as illustrated. We do not redo artwork for taste. If a detail you entered was applied incorrectly (name spelling, hair, skin tone, glasses), we correct it free, always.
Is this a gift I can send?
Yes. Add a gift message at checkout and it is printed inside the book. Gift receipts never show prices.
Within 24 hours, Max meets their hero.
