How it works
They won't just find their name in the story. They'll find themselves.
Most personalized books print a name on the page. StoryLikeness™ illustrates your child — so they recognize the hero on every spread.
1Upload a favorite photoOne clear picture of their face is enough.
2Meet their StoryLikeness™An illustrated character built to look like them. You approve it.

4Send it to printA premium hardcover, plus the read-along and the audiobook.
It starts with one photo. Seeing them drawn is free.
The “that's me!” moment
A photograph goes in. They come out as the hero.
Every illustration below was made from the photograph beside it, by the same process that runs on a real order.
The cover
Their name, and their face
One photograph is all it takes. We draw your child as the hero of the story — their face, their hair, their coloring — and that is who looks back from the front of the book.
Every page
Their likeness in every picture
They are in all eleven illustrations — the same child, page after page, standing in the middle of the story. This is the part a book that only prints their name cannot do.
Read-along and audiobook
Read-along digital storybook included
Every book comes with an illustrated read-along, where each word lights up as it is spoken, and an audiobook that says their name the way you say it. Both included — never an upsell.
Two editions
Boy and girl versions of each story
Tell us whether the book is for a boy or a girl and we choose the right hero of that story for them — Peter or Wendy, Aladdin or the princess. Not the same book with a name swapped in: the words and the pictures are written for that child from the start.
Sample portraits, not customers. The photographs are stock images; each illustration beside one was generated from it by StoryLikeness™, exactly as it would be for an order. No customer's child appears on this site.

Wizard of Oz
The road is long, the company is odd, and home is a very long way off.

Stories they'll love.
Lessons that last.
Every adventure is a classic that has been told for centuries, and the character is already in it — courage, kindness, generosity, choices and what they cost. We don't bolt a moral onto the end. It is the reason these stories outlived everything written alongside them.
Which makes them worth talking about afterwards. Why Robin gives away everything he takes. Why the Tin Woodman already had a heart. What your child would have done — and that is a better conversation than any lesson we could print.
Pick a story. See them in it, free.
Read it. Follow along. Listen to it.
One adventure. Made entirely theirs.
Every book includes the complete adventure in three ways.
Read it
The hardcover.
Premium 8×8, matte, printed and bound to survive being loved.
Follow along
The digital read-along.
A digital edition for a tablet or phone, separate from the hardcover: every word lights up as it's read, so they can follow along and read it themselves at the same time. Three speeds, starting slow.
Listen
The audiobook.
Their name read aloud the way you say it — for the car, and the nights when nobody has the voice left.
