A few pages from a real book



A sample book we made from one photo. The person in it is made up.
Why it works for mom
Mothers are given a lot of things with the word mom printed on them. This is different: mom is inside the story, drawn from a real photo, doing something brave or clever or quietly magical. The book shows mom the way you see mom rather than the way a greeting card does.

Will it actually look like her?
You see the drawn character free, before any of the twelve pages are made and before you pay. One correction is included, and if it still is not right, you pay nothing.
Which story suits her?
The four below are the ones mothers get given most often here: a quiet detective story, a night market, an attic with something warm in it, and a lamp with three wishes. Every story page says who it suits.
Does it work for Mother’s Day?
Yes. It is usually ready within minutes, and it arrives as a link and a PDF, so it works on the day even if every shop has closed.
Can the book be from the kids?
Yes. You choose the story and the name; who gives it is up to you. Children often like choosing which of the stories mom should be in.
