First Christmas books

Both come in free verse and in rhyme. The second one puts the family dog or cat in the story too.

The covers show example families. Your book is drawn from your own photos.

Their very first Christmas, in a book

The same story comes in two editions. Free verse reads like a gentle letter to your baby; the rhyming edition is made for reading aloud.

It is a keepsake for the family now, and a book your child can read about themselves later.

How the story opens
“It's your very first Christmas, Freya. The whole world is wrapped up and waiting.”
Free verse
“Freya, hooray, / your first Christmas Day! / The house hums with cheer, / for the magic is here, / the world, wrapped tight, / waits for you tonight.”
Rhyme

Drawn from your photos

Upload a clear, recent photo of your baby and we draw them into the story. You choose the grown-ups who are in it with them, each drawn from their own photo.

Good photos: face to the camera, good light, one person per photo, no sunglasses or heavy filters.

Who is in it with your child?
  • Mummy & Daddy
  • Mummy
  • Daddy
  • Grandma & Grandpa
  • Grandma
  • Grandpa
  • Auntie

What your child calls them is what is printed in the book.

Questions

Can I see the book before I pay?

Yes. We draw your cover and two finished pages first, from your own photos. You only order if you like them.

Can I check the book before it is printed?

Yes. You see every page and approve it, and you can ask us to redraw a page before you do. Nothing is printed until you approve the book.

What makes a good photo?

A clear, well-lit photo of each person's face, looking roughly at the camera, one person per photo, with no sunglasses or heavy filters. The better the photo, the better the drawing.
