Testimonial
Sophie and the Sky Garden Balloon
A Truly Bespoke Story for Little Sophie
David came to us wanting a personalised story for his lively 11-month-old daughter, Sophie. With just a few heartfelt details, he painted a picture of her as “strawberry blonde, blue-eyed, and always on the go” — full of curiosity and sparkle. He also asked that Sophie’s mummy and daddy join her on the adventure, carefully describing their appearance and personalities so we could reflect their likeness accurately throughout the story and illustrations. When we asked what the story should be about, David simply told us to go wild and trusted DearStory with full creative freedom.

Genesis of a Story
From David's helpful instructions, we created “Sophie and the Sky Garden Balloon” — a completely original, one-of-a-kind tale created exclusively for Sophie. The story follows a joyful little explorer with endless wiggles as she discovers a magical balloon that gently lifts her and her loving mummy and daddy into the sky. Together, they journey into a breathtaking Sky Garden filled with glowing cloud paths, shimmering trees, soft mist, and twinkling stars. Along the way, Sophie laughs, toddles, and bravely explores every fluffy wonder, always wrapped in warmth, reassurance, and love. As the day softly fades into bedtime, the balloon carries Sophie home through a tunnel of rainbow mist, where she settles safely into a peaceful sleep — her magical adventure becoming a dream she can return to again and again.

"We were genuinely amazed by Sophie’s personalised book. Every detail felt thoughtfully done — from her appearance and personality to the special moments shared with mummy and daddy. The Sky Garden Balloon adventure is gentle, magical, and full of warmth, making it feel truly her own. The illustrations are stunning and the quality of the book is excellent, turning it into a keepsake we’ll treasure for years. It doesn’t feel like a generic children’s book at all, but something carefully made just for Sophie. We can’t wait to see her reaction when she opens it for the first time.
