Personalised children's books
We love to work with people to make their own kids books! If you email us an idea we can schedule a free chat and help you create a personalised book to cherish forever.
The illustrations are hand drawn, using photos or ideas you have supplied. Prices will depend on your choice of options of paperback/ hardback and the length of the book. Below is an example of Pablo: Seasons of Canada, a book we created for a toddler named Pablo, and his family to celebrate his first years in Canada before they moved back to Europe. We included a seasons wheel, his favourite activities in each season, and a selection of photos to look back on and enjoy.
We look forward to working together to make more of these projects come to life!

Sukie's Suitcase
We are very lucky to work with one of Australia's best contemporary poets, Jordie Albiston, to produce an illustrated collection of prose poems for 7–10 year-olds that explores three children's lives in Australia, Colombia and Kenya. Sukie's Suitcase shares what it is to leave your home, how it feels to be lonely, and what it's like to be terribly sick. But most of all it shares how you can be a good friend, how you can still give back no matter how bad things are, and how to be brave and good.
Fast at Everything
This book is a very special picture book for the families (and especially the siblings) of premature babies to make sense of a challenging time. After Kirsten Dickinson was unable to find a book to read to her grandson while his baby sister spent three months in the neonatal ward, she decided to create something creative, warm and educational. Fast at Everything turns the daunting world of NICU and special care into one that children can better engage with and understand. It is a wonderful resource for families to talk about the experience of having a premature baby in a positive way. Profits from this book go towards family services in NICU centres.
Barkwoofggrrr!
This beautifully illustrated new picture book by Jordie Albiston and Lucy Pulvers is now available. Barkwoofggrrr is mad. He's angry. He's a little peeved. Also, he's frustrated and tired. And did we mention he's slightly exasperated? Well he is (slightly)... What do you do when you feel like Barky? Follow the journey of a spirited little dog and his owner, Marcus, as together they discover how to deal with a world that doesn't always listen...
