The story
A little tin of brave, for the biggest small morning
The night before school, Dad brings out a little empty tin. “It’s for your BRAVE,” he whispers. “We’ll fill it up — you’ll see.” A pinch for the giant gates. A pinch for the peg with your child’s name on it. A pinch for the stripey carpet, and for turning a stranger into a friend called YOU.
Then, at lunchtime — disaster. The tin tips over. Empty. And that’s when the real discovery happens: count the brave things already done today. The box was never magic. The brave was inside them all along.

The real thing
Made to be held.
This is what turns up: a thick 210 × 210 mm square hardcover with gloss pages that make the paintings glow — printed in Britain and delivered free to your door, £36.98 all in. You pay £6.99 once the sample pages make you smile, and the rest only when you love the finished book — so you never pay for a book you haven’t seen.
The Little Tailor Promise
You see your child painted into the story before you pay anything. If the preview doesn’t make you smile, you owe us nothing and your photo is deleted. And if you love it but something isn’t quite as you expected, tell us what’s off — we’ll fix it, free of charge. We’re not happy until the book has earned its place on the bedtime shelf.
Questions parents ask
Before you ask…
Will it actually look like my child?
That’s exactly why the preview is free. We paint your child from your photo: face, hair, skin tone, even the clothes they really wear. You judge the likeness with your own eyes before paying anything, and if a detail is off, tell us — we’ll fix it, free of charge.
What photo works best?
One clear, front-facing photo with their face easy to see — a normal phone photo in daylight is perfect. You can change it later if the preview isn’t right.
What happens to the photo?
It’s used only to paint your book, then deleted within 30 days of your book being finished — and within 90 days if you never go ahead. It is never used to train an AI model and never shared. No account is created. Our photo promise →
Will it arrive before school starts?
The free preview lands within 24 hours. The ebook is yours the moment you approve it; the hardcover upgrade is printed in Britain and typically arrives well inside two weeks — order in July or August and it’s on the bookshelf long before the first bell.
What does it cost?
£6.99 for the ebook — and you see every page first, so you pay only if you love it. Love it? Upgrade to the printed British hardcover for £29.99, free UK delivery — the offer comes with your finished ebook. The whole journey, plainly →
