A Christmas Eve story where your child saves the night
Tell us your child's name, age and the things they love. We write and illustrate a 24-page hardcover book with them as the hero, and add a letter from Santa that mentions what they did this year.
The book is not on sale yet. Orders open soon.
Illustrations are made with AI and checked by a person before anything is printed.
Mila and the Song of the North Pole
What her parents told us
Mila, 5. Warm brown skin, dark curly hair in two puffs, a gap-toothed smile. Loves baking cookies, reindeer and singing.
Look inside
Pages from the sample book for Mila. Every story is different, because the plot bends around what each child loves. Mila loves singing, so in her book the North Pole needs a song.
Tap, tap, tap. Something small and glowing was knocking on Mila's window. It was a lantern with silver wings.
"Mila?" it whispered. "The workshop has gone quiet, and the elves cannot work without a song."
Mila looked at the silent music box. Then she smiled her gap-toothed smile.
"At home we always sing when we bake," she said. "It helps the cookies come out right."
She took a big breath and sang the cookie song, loud and clear. One elf began to hum. Then the whole workshop joined in.

How it works
Tell us about your child
First name, age, three things they love, and what they look like in a sentence or two. No photo needed.
We make the book
The story is written around your answers and the pictures are painted to match your description, with your child on every page. We use AI for both.
A person checks every page
Before anything is printed, one of us reads the whole book, looks at each picture and signs it off by name. A picture that is not right gets redone.
Your book arrives
The digital book comes first, with the story read aloud. The printed hardcover follows by post.

Dear Theo,
Thank you for coming to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. When the toy crane in the workshop got stuck, you looked at it like a real builder and saw what was wrong. The elves are still talking about the tower of blocks you made to hold it up.
I hear you are seven now, and that you helped your grandpa rake the leaves every Saturday this fall. Help like that is quiet, and it matters a great deal.
Comet says your spin on the ice made the whole stable dizzy. Dasher wants to know if a dinosaur could ever pull a sleigh. I told him to ask you.
Keep building, Theo.
Your friend,
Santa

Questions parents ask
Do I need to upload a photo?
No. You describe your child in a sentence or two and we draw them from that. The likeness is close rather than exact, and a person checks every picture before the book is printed.
How is AI used?
We use AI to write the story from your answers and to make the pictures. A person on our team then reads every page and checks every picture before the book is printed. If a picture is off, we redo it.
What ages is it for?
Ages 4 to 10. The story length and words change with the age you give: shorter and simpler for younger children, more to read for older ones.
Is anything in the story scary?
No. There is no villain and nobody is ever in danger. Something small goes wrong at the North Pole on Christmas Eve, and your child helps put it right with the things they love.
What happens to my child's details?
We use them only to make and deliver your book, and we delete them 30 days after delivery. They are never sold and never used to train AI. Read more on our privacy page.
