How it works

About two minutes from start to preview. No account needed.

  1. 1 Pick the moment

    A road trip or a day at home. Then tell us your child’s age and what they love. Everything else is optional.

  2. 2 See 4 real pages for free

    Real pages from your child’s actual book, before you pay. No email needed. Then choose 24–48 pages.

  3. 3 Buy once, print at home

    US Letter and A4 PDFs. Download right away; we email a copy too.

Buying for a grandchild, niece or nephew?

A book made around one child is a gift that gets used: on the next long drive or the next rainy day.

Make one as a gift
  1. 1 Ask their parent

    Their age and what they love is all you need. A first name, a pet and favorite things make it more theirs.

  2. 2 See it before you pay

    You get 4 real pages free. Send the preview link to their parent if you want a second opinion.

  3. 3 Print it or pass it on

    We email you the PDF. Print and wrap it, or forward the email to their family to print at home.

Questions parents ask

What ages is it for?

Children aged 3–12. Puzzles, mazes and word games are tuned to the exact age you choose, and from age 9 they get bigger and trickier: larger mazes and crosswords, and word searches with words hidden backwards.

What’s the difference between the two books?

The road-trip book is full of things to spot and play in the car, plus your destination if you tell us. The at-home book has an indoor scavenger hunt, crafts to cut out and other things to do around the house. Both come in 24–48 pages.

How is it different from free printables?

Every page is made for one child: their name in the crossword and the secret code, their pet finding its way home in the maze, their friends in a silly story, puzzles at their age. You choose what the book is full of, and no two books are the same.

What do I need to tell you?

Just your child’s age and what they love. A first name, a pet, favorite things, friends, a destination or an occasion like “rainy day” are optional extras.

How does printing work?

You get a PDF in US Letter and A4. Print at home in black and white or color, at actual size.

What do you do with my child’s details?

We ask for an age and interests; names, a pet and favorite things are optional. Never a birthday or gender, and never a photo of a person (photos of a pet or a favorite place are welcome in the biggest book). They are used to make the book and nothing else, and deleted on a fixed schedule.

Is it a subscription?

No. It’s a one-time purchase for one personalized book.

Can I give one as a gift?

Yes. Make it with the child’s age and what they love (their parent can tell you), check the free preview, and we email the PDF to you. Print and wrap it, or forward the email to their family.

What about their next book?

Sign in with your email (no password) and press “Make the next book”. It remembers what they love, grows with their age, gets harder or easier from your feedback and never repeats a page they already did.
