Every child deserves to be the hero
Personalised books that put your child at the centre of the story, sparking imagination and building the kind of confidence that lasts a lifetime.
How we started
It started with a moment every parent recognises. A child picked up a book, saw their own name on the page, and their eyes lit up in a way that nothing else had managed. That look — of pure, wide-eyed recognition — said everything.
We knew it should be easier to create that feeling. So we built MakeMyStory: a way for any parent to create a beautiful, personalised storybook in minutes, with their child as the hero and their photo woven into every illustration.
No design skills needed. No waiting weeks. Just a story your child will want to read again and again.
Not just a name — a story
Most “personalised” books swap a name and call it done. We think that misses the point entirely.
A stock character with your child's hair colour swapped in
A photo-accurate character drawn from your child's actual face — recognisable on every single page
A carousel of 8 preset storylines to choose from
Any situation you can imagine — described in your own words, built entirely around your child
A name inserted into narration that was written for any child
A story genuinely written for this child, this adventure, this moment
True personalisation means your child doesn't just appear in a story — they live one that was made entirely for them.
What we believe
Three values that guide every product decision we make.
Child-First Design
Every decision we make puts the child's experience first — from story structure to illustration style.
