A birthday story that makes them the star
Each birthday book is written around one child. From your photo our studio draws them as the story's hero, their name runs through every page, and your own message opens the book. It's a present they can read with you on the day and keep long after the cake has gone.
Which birthday book to choose
For a first birthday, the 1st Birthday Storybook takes your baby through the Wishing Forest, every page a wish for their future, in bright pictures made for little eyes. The First Year Baby Book looks back instead: first smile, first tooth, first steps, all the way to one candle on the cake. Turning two has its own book of first words and big discoveries, and the Magic Birthday Storybook suits any age from about three to eight.
Made in a day, delivered free in the UK
We make every book within one working day, then it is printed near you — in the UK for UK orders — and posted with free delivery. Need it sooner? Most birthday books also come as a PDF, emailed to you, ready to print or to read on a screen at the party.
Grandparents, godparents and friends
Birthday books are often sent by someone who can't be there on the day. Write your message when you order and we print it on the first page, so the book arrives as a gift from you. If you're not sure of the size, the 20×20 cm softcover is our most popular choice for little hands.
