Common questions

What is a sweet Valentine's gift for a child?

A personalized storybook about love and kindness, starring the child - a keepsake far more lasting than candy.

When should I order for Valentine's Day?

Approve your book by the very start of February - six days to the UK and nine to ten inside the US, plus a margin, and mid-February post is busy. The digital edition unlocks immediately if the 14th has crept up.

Is Valentine's Day an odd thing to give a child a book for?

Not from a parent or a grandparent, which is who orders these. It is read as the day you say the thing out loud rather than as romance, and a story is a more durable way of saying it than a card.

What should the dedication say?

Something only you would write. Write to the child rather than about them, say who it is from, and date it - in ten years the date is the part that does the work.

Will it actually look like them?
