The words of the people who matter most
Chloe
Proud Mum
This book captured Sarah so perfectly it honestly made me tear up. The illustrations look exactly like her — even Pebble’s little expressions are spot on.
She’s spent the last few nights ‘reading’ the story back to Pebble, pointing at every page like "look, that’s you!" ★★★★★
Florence
Loving Grandma
I couldn’t believe how much thought had gone into the story. The order form was so simple, but the book is beautifully detailed. I'll be ordering another soon as his birthday is coming up ★★★★★
Matthew
Thoughtful Dad
Sarah's not quite a confident reader yet, but she loves the book (mostly because she knows it’s her). You even got Teddy in there perfectly, bowtie and all. It’s become Sarah's favourite thing to show visitors. ★★★★★

Helpful Answers for Curious Minds
Clear answers to the most common questions about creating your DearStory book, delivery, personalisation and how the whole process works.
Each story is created uniquely for the child you tell us about — their personality, interests, appearance, family, and the details that matter to you. No two books ever come out the same.
Not at all. It guides you step-by-step and takes most people just a few minutes. You can share as much or as little detail as you like — we craft the story around whatever you give us.
No problem. Many customers start with just a sentence or two. Our team is experienced at turning even simple details into something rich, warm, and meaningful. The form is super easy and guides you through every step.
Absolutely. Younger children love the illustrations and hearing their story read aloud. Older children appreciate the depth and personal details woven in just for them. We ask how old the child is on our order form, so we'll try to tailor the story to their level.
Because each story and illustration is created specifically for your child, it usually takes 3–5 days before you receive your preview, then a further 1–2 weeks before it arrives with you.
Every book is printed on premium coated paper with rich, high-quality colour reproduction and finished as a deluxe hardcover.
