The story

What happens inside

Something’s tingly. There’s a ribbon on the banister, someone’s baking, and a voice sings up the stairs: “Happy birthday! Come down here!” Balloons, bunting, a pop-up card as tall as your child, a doorbell that will not stop — and all day long one question: when the candles come, what will the wish be? A puppy? A rocket? A dinosaur called Kelly? By the time the cake floats in glowing, your child knows. The wish is THIS — today, with all their people — and it comes true before bedtime. Written with no number in it, so it fits every birthday, and with a small grey cat who steals every other page.

Rhyming verse for ages 3–6 · 13 painted spreads · a “made especially for…” dedication page for your message.

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 — close up, in good daylight, looking at the camera, nothing in front of the face. The closer and clearer the face, the better the likeness on every page. 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 →

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 →

How fast is delivery?

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.
