A book where the main character has your child’s name, lives in a family like theirs, and moves through the world the way they do. A named person writes it and signs it, and the face comes from the illustration. We are making them now, and you can ask us to tell you when they are ready.
What gets personalized, beyond the name
The printed name is where this starts, and where most of the category stops. Here it carries on a little further:
| What goes into the story | How |
|---|---|
| The name | In the text, spoken by the other characters |
| The family they have | Who lives at home, as it is, without a template |
| The body they have | Features, skin, hair and eye tones — and the glasses, or the wheelchair |
| How they move through the world | What comes hard and what comes easy, which is what drives the plot |
All of it is chosen from a set of pieces drawn in advance. Then a person reads the finished story before anything gets printed. The tools propose; somebody decides, and signs for it.
If you want to see how those pieces fit together, here are the parts of a story explained with an actual story, scene by scene.
Do I have to upload a photo?
The face comes from the illustration. You choose features from a hand-drawn set and your main character comes out of that, so your child’s photograph stays in your house.
This is a product decision, and we made it for two reasons. The first is that asking a family to upload a child’s face to a small, unfamiliar company is friction both sides can do without. The second is that it works better: an illustration leaves room for the reader to climb inside, and a photograph fills it.
For the same reason, no generative model runs while you personalize. What changes are pieces somebody drew, and your choices are stored as a readable record.
Who writes the books?
Alejandra Zorrilla, and they carry her signature. Every book in the catalogue names who wrote it and, where there is one, who illustrated it.
That ought to be ordinary and it turns out to be rare: of ten personalized-book companies we reviewed in September 2026, not one shows publicly who writes its stories.
The house is older than this project. The business plan that started it is dated July 2004 and signed by Alejandra Zorrilla Martínez. Through those years the personalized books were made with slides, a printer, scissors and a comb binder, and dozens were given away. What changes now are the tools.
When will it be ready?
It is being made now.
Leave us your email and we will write you one email, when the first one is ready.
In the meantime, here is the guide to writing a story at home where your child is the one who lives it. It will come out different from ours, and the creased draft left over from that afternoon will outlast anything we print.
And if you arrived because there is someone at home who won’t read, start there: here are ten reasons that happens, ordered from the cheapest to rule out to the slowest to change.
