Opening soon

A storybook where your child is the hero, told the way your family actually speaks.

Personalized picture books in Arabic, Dutch, English, or both, written for birthdays, Eid, and new babies. Every word and every illustration is reviewed by a person before it reaches your child.

No spam. One email when we open, and occasional updates before that.

Most personalized books stop at the name.

Type in a name, get a template back. The illustrations do not look like your child, the language reads like a rough translation, and the holiday details are generic at best. If you are raising a bilingual family, or celebrating Eid or a new baby, that gap shows up on page one.

We build the book around your child and your language, not just the name field.

From a few details to a finished book.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about your child

    Name, age, appearance, and the occasion you are celebrating.

  2. Step 2

    We write and illustrate the story

    A story and illustrations are created around your child, then checked by a person for language, accuracy, and tone.

  3. Step 3

    You approve, we print

    Nothing goes to print without your yes.

  4. Step 4

    It arrives ready to read

    A printed keepsake book, in the language your family reads together.

Made for the moments your family celebrates.

Checked by a person

A human reviewer reads every story and confirms cultural details before it is approved.

Illustrations made for your child

Each book's artwork reflects the child in the story, not a generic template character.

A closer look inside.

Questions, answered.

What languages are the books available in?

Arabic, Dutch, English, and a combined Arabic and Dutch edition for bilingual families.

How is this different from other personalized books?

We write for the occasion and the language, not just the name. Every story is checked by a person for accuracy before it is printed, including Eid details that generic templates usually get wrong.

When can I order?

We are finishing the last details before opening. Join the waitlist and we will email you the moment it is ready.

Is the artwork actually made for my child?

Yes. The illustrations are generated around the details you give us, so the child in the book matches your child, not a stock character.

Will there be more occasions?

Ramadan and Sinterklaas storybooks are in progress and will follow the same review process as our current books.
