What they’re wishing for

Their wish this Christmas, woven into the story.

A favorite treat

The cookies, the pudding or the dish your house loves at Christmas.

Snowy or sunny

A white Christmas or a warm one in the sun: you pick the weather.

A visit from Santa

A jolly, kind Santa can drop by in the story.

How your family celebrates

Anything special about your Christmas, in your own words.

How it works

  1. Tell us about them

    Their name, age, family and the things they love.

  2. Read it first

    You approve the story before we illustrate it, with up to 3 rewrites.

  3. Read it or hold it

    The digital book opens on any phone, tablet or computer. A printed book comes to your door.

Read it before it’s made

You review the whole story first and can ask for up to 3 rewrites. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

The same child on every page

We draw your child once, from your photo or your description, and keep that look on every page.

Yours to keep

Your digital book never expires, and you can order printed copies whenever you like.
