Personalized Hanukkah Books for Kids

The shamash is the helper candle that lights all the others on the menorah. In this story your child decides to be a helper too, and spends the eight nights of Hanukkah sharing their light with family and neighbors.

Your child is on every page, drawn from their photo. Preview it free, download it the same day, and read it together on the first night, even if you order on the first night.

    The Littlest Helper Candle

    Eight nights of Hanukkah, and one small light that helps all the others.

Questions

Can I order it after Hanukkah has started?

Yes. The book is a PDF you download the same day, so there is no shipping cut-off. Read it on a tablet tonight, or print it at home or at a copy shop.

Can Grandma or Grandpa be in the book?

Yes. Add a grown-up from a photo, at no extra cost, and they appear next to your child in the pictures. Grandma already has a part in the story.

How do I get the book?

You download it the same day: page pictures for a photo book, a print-ready PDF and a PDF for reading on a tablet. Print it at home, at a print shop, or as a hardcover photo book, as many times as you like.

How does the personalization work?

You upload one to three clear photos of your child and tell us their name. We draw your child into every illustration in the book’s art style, so they look like themselves on every page, and put their name into the story.

Do I have to pay before I see it?

No. You see the cover and two illustrated pages free, before you pay anything. If you don’t like the likeness, you can try different photos.
