What to know when you are buying for a niece
Read the cover and chapter one free - you only pay if it looks like them.
Aunts and uncles have a specific problem: you want to be memorable, you see her a handful of times a year, and her parents have politely asked for no more plastic. A book with her as the hero solves all three at once - it is unmistakably from you, it takes up almost no space, and it is the kind of thing a parent is quietly relieved to receive. Sign it in your own voice rather than the family voice; being the one who wrote something funny is the whole point.
A dedication in your voice
To my favorite niece - remember who the hero is. Auntie x
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
Ask her parents for the current obsession before you order. It is one text message and it is the difference between the book of the year and a nice book.

What makes a personalized book a good gift for a niece?
It is the one gift that cannot be duplicated: your niece is the named, illustrated hero on every page, drawn from a photo you choose. That is also why it survives the shelf - it is a record of who they were at this age, not another toy.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. You get the cover and the whole of chapter one free, with your niece's face already drawn in. You only pay if it genuinely looks like them.
How long does it take?
The digital book is ready in minutes. A printed keepsake is made to order - the delivery page carries the current cut-off dates for each market.
What photo works best?
One clear, well-lit, forward-facing photo. A beautiful side-on shot produces a weaker likeness than a plain one taken straight on, because the illustrator works from the face it can actually see.
