Questions
Good things to ask.
Is my child's photo safe?
Yes. The photo is used only to make your book. It is never sold, never used to train AI, and deleted on request. Full detail is on our privacy page.
How long does it take?
We email a proof to approve, usually within a few days of your order. Once you're happy, your hardcover is printed and posted — around two weeks from order to doorstep.
What age is it for?
It's a read-aloud picture book, best for roughly ages two to seven. The story is gentle and the child is always the hero.
Can I see it before it's printed?
Always. Nothing prints until you've seen a proof of your book and said yes.
