Sample book
Leo and the Great Hush
Four of the 24 pages from a sample book. Your grandchild is the hero on every page.
Walter, one of our storytellers, reads Leo’s book (12 seconds). Leo is an AI-invented sample child.
Dramatization. What it feels like when they find themselves in the story. Tap to play, with sound.
How it works
Three simple steps
1. Add one photo
Their first name and one clear photo. That’s all you need to start.
2. See their face, free
We draw them as the hero. Not quite right? Re-do it free. You only pay if you love it.
3. Your voice + their book
Record it page by page on your phone, or pick our storyteller. A real person checks every book.
The story inside
Not a name pasted into a template. A real story, with you in it.
The thing that makes them them saves Christmas.
In a noisy house, your grandchild is the one who really listens. So when Santa’s bell goes missing, Tinsel the elf knows exactly who to ask.
A real adventure, with real stakes.
No bell, no reindeer. No reindeer, no Christmas. And the clock says ten minutes to midnight.
Then they remember your words.
At the hardest moment, they remember the thing you always tell them. Your words are what save Christmas.
An ending made for a lap and a hug.
“Can you guess who?” Turn the page. It’s you.
The last page is you
Your own voice, saying “I love you.”
Every book ends with a short message from you. In the video, it plays in your own recorded voice, even if our storyteller reads the rest. They’ll hear it every time they open the book.
A message from Grandpa
Leo, you are my favorite listener. Every time you ring that bell, I’m ringing one right back. Save me a hug.
Love, Grandpa

Questions
Good questions, honest answers
Will it really look like them?
You see their illustrated face before you pay anything. If something looks off, we redo it for free. If we still can't get their face right, you get a full refund. That's our Likeness Promise.
Is my grandchild's photo safe?
Yes. The photo is deleted as soon as you approve their illustrated face, and it is never used to train AI.
How fast does it arrive?
The PDF storybook and the read-aloud video are emailed after a person checks the book, usually within a few hours (own-voice videos are made after you finish recording). You can order digital items right up to Christmas Eve. For the hardcover, order by December 8 for Christmas delivery (contiguous US).
What if I'm not good at reading aloud?
They don't want a perfect narrator. They want you. You record it page by page on your phone, so there's no long speech to get through. If you'd rather not record, our storyteller can read it instead, for the same price.
What if I pick your storyteller?
Our storyteller reads the story, but the last page is always you: record a short message in your own voice. Prefer not to record? We'll show your words on screen instead.
Does a real person check it?
Yes. Every book is checked by a real person before it's delivered.
