The Day You Were Born, Your Child

The Day You Were Born

A tender read-aloud keepsake about the day your child arrived: how the world got ready, how the stars and the sea and the animals welcomed them, and how much they were loved from the very first moment.

The first pages

  1. Before you were born, your child, the whole world was waiting. It didn’t know your name yet, but it knew you were coming.

    Page 1

  2. The trees grew a little taller so you’d have shade. The rivers practised their gentlest songs.

  3. The moon polished every star, one by one, so they’d be shining when you looked up.

Questions

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.

Can I add a brother, sister, grandparent or our pet?

Yes, at no extra cost. You can add up to two extra characters: a sibling, a friend, a grown-up like Mom, Dad or Grandma, or a pet. Upload a photo of each and they appear next to your child in the pictures, and the story says hello to them on the first and last page.
