Every night for years, a quiet war has been fought over one blanket, one thermostat and the question of who snores louder. This is that war, told from both sides with love, with your partner and you drawn from your photos in every battle and your own words quoted inside. Nobody has won yet.

Your photos are only used to draw the people in this book - never published, sold or used to train AI.

A story for more than one person: you'll add a photo of each person in it as well as the hero's, and the prices above include everyone in the book.

A peek inside

How the story unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh from your answers - their name woven through every page, and the answers you give us quoted word for word in the chapters.

The two of you in bed in pyjamas, one rolled up in the whole blanket, the other shivering and laughing.
Chapter One

The First Night

It began on the very first night, when your partner rolled over and took the whole blanket along for the ride.

The two of you in bed in pyjamas, one rolled up in the whole blanket, the other shivering and laughing.

A late night raid on the thermostat, one of you on tiptoe in socks, caught in the beam of a torch.
Chapter Two

The Thermostat Treaty

There were secret raids on the thermostat, extra pillows smuggled in as walls, and a snore that rattled the windows.

A late night raid on the thermostat, one of you on tiptoe in socks, caught in the beam of a torch.

A truce at dawn, both of you under one blanket, a wall of pillows half collapsed between you.
Chapter Three

No Clear Winner

Years on, the war goes on every night, and neither of them would trade the other for all the blankets in the world.

A truce at dawn, both of you under one blanket, a wall of pillows half collapsed between you.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with them in it when the book is made: the cover and chapter one free in your preview, the remaining eleven once you order.

Is this the one?

Who the Great Blanket War is for

The Great Blanket War is the funny book for two people who share a bed and disagree about everything in it: the blanket, the temperature, the window and the snoring. You tell us who steals the covers, the thermostat battles and the snore story, and the book retells the long, loving war with your sentences quoted inside. Both of you are drawn in every round, and nobody is shown losing.

Who it suits, and when

It suits any couple who has shared a bed long enough to have rules about it, from the first flat together to a fortieth anniversary. It works for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or just because, and it lands best with the partner who swears they never steal the blanket. Bedroom scenes are drawn in pyjamas, cosy and never suggestive.

For Noa, who steals the blanket every night and denies it every morning with a straight face.
Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

Who is The Great Blanket War for?

The Great Blanket War is a book about a grown-up, written in the voice of a gift book rather than a picture book. During setup you answer three questions, and up to three more if you want more of the book to be yours, and your answers are quoted word for word in the chapters.

How is The Great Blanket War personalized?

You upload a photo of the person the book is about, choose man or woman, and they become the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - recognizable across all 12 chapters. Anyone else in the story is drawn from their own photo, and their name and a dedication are woven in too.

How long is the book, and what formats are there?

Twelve illustrated chapters, one full-page illustration per chapter. Digital is $16.90, softcover $44.90 and hardcover $49.90 plus shipping; the hardcover is a 8x8 inch matt-laminated keepsake.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The cover and the whole first chapter - artwork included - are generated free. You only pay if you want the remaining eleven chapters.
