Personalised birthday storybook with your child as the hero

If you want it in print, you choose a format after you have seen the preview.

1. Cover and dedication

   The cover shows your child as the birthday hero with their name and age, with a title such as "Happy 5th Birthday, Aarohi!". The first page carries your dedication, from Mumma and Papa, Dadi or whoever the book is from.

2. The birthday morning

3. Into the party theme

   Their party theme becomes the world of the story. Jungle turns the house into a forest trail, space sends them past the Moon, and cricket puts them on a sunny ground. Pick none and the adventure stays at home and around the neighbourhood.

4. A small problem to solve

   Something goes missing on the way to the party, like the candles or the birthday banner. Your child sorts it out in their own way, using what they love most right now, from dinosaurs to drawing to trucks and cars.

5. Friends and family join in

   A sibling, best friend, pet or soft toy you name comes along for the ride. Family and friends appear by name in the story. Only your child is drawn from your photos.

6. The cake moment

   The adventure ends at their favourite cake, chocolate, butterscotch, rasmalai or whatever you told us, with the right number of candles for the birthday they are turning.

7. The wish page

   A closing spread shows your child making a wish, with a page that notes what they love at this age. It keeps a small record of being five, or two, or seven.

8. A video message on the back page (optional)

1. What's your little one's first name? (Add the name you call them at home too, if you like.)
