Ages 0-2 - babies and toddlers
Personalized books for babies and toddlers
At this age the book is as much for the grown-ups reading it as for the child hearing it - and it is the one gift that still means something fifteen years later.
Under two, a child is not following a plot. They are following your voice, the rhythm of the sentences and the faces on the page - and faces are the thing they lock onto first. That is why a book built from their own photo works differently here than a story about a stranger: the child recognizes themselves before they can read a word. Our catalogue is honestly thinnest at this age, because a twelve-chapter story is more book than a toddler will sit through. Most families buying for a baby are buying a keepsake to grow into, often alongside a new-baby or first-birthday gift.
What matters in a book at 0 to 2
Short, repeatable lines
Rhythm and repetition matter more than plot. A page you can read the same way every night is doing its job.
Faces, big and clear
Babies find faces before anything else on a page. Their own face is the strongest version of that.
Built to survive
For this age the hardcover is the practical choice - the matt-laminated 8x8 wipes clean and holds up to being carried around.

Common questions
Is a personalized book worth it for a 1-year-old?
As a keepsake, yes - as a read-tonight book, it depends on the child. A one-year-old will engage with the pictures of themselves long before the story. Many parents buy it at this age precisely so it is on the shelf for the years when the story does land.
Which stories suit a 2-year-old?
Our gentlest ones - bedtime and first-milestone stories. On this page you are seeing only the titles written for the 0-2 band; the 2-4 page has considerably more choice and most of it works at two.
Board book or hardcover?
We print softcover and hardcover 8x8 keepsakes, not board books. For a child under two the hardcover is the one to pick.
