Questions

How is this different from a book that just uses my child's name?

Those books are finished before your child exists. Here, the people, the pet, and the trouble you name change the writing and the pictures.

What do I see before I pay?

The cover, the dedication, and the first illustrated page. The rest is painted after you buy.

What does a printed book cost?

Made From Scratch $39.99. Story Collection $29.99. The file of the pages is included. Or $9.99 for the file alone, then add print on review.

What does shipping cost?

Shipping from $9.99. Free on orders $50+. Faster choices stay at their listed price when standard shipping is free. Details are in the terms.

What ages is it for?

Ages 1 through 12. The voice is a picture book, happiest in the younger years.

What happens to photos I upload?

You confirm you have permission. Originals stay private and are used only to paint a picture-book reference, not as a photo on the page. They are deleted when the book is sent to print, or after 14 days if you never order.

This year will not stay this size.

About five minutes. You can leave and come back on this device.
