A peek inside

How the adventure unfolds

These are just sample lines. Your book is written fresh for your child - their name woven through every page, with the words, sentence length and tone tuned to their age, and shaped by the story, interests and details you choose.

A window at dusk with a line of lights leading away between the houses.

Chapter One

Christmas Eve Magic

As snow fell soft and silver, your child heard the faint, merry jingle of far-off sleigh bells.

A window at dusk with a line of lights leading away between the houses.

The sky opened up over a snowy street, and one small figure standing still under it.

Chapter Two

A Sky Full of Wonder

Your child gazed up as the whole night sky sparkled, every star glowing bright for Christmas.

The sky opened up over a snowy street, and one small figure standing still under it.

Chapter Three

Christmas Morning

At dawn your child tiptoed out to a morning wrapped in ribbons, twinkle lights, and cheer.

Christmas morning from the top of the stairs, before anybody else is awake.

These three sample the opening, middle and ending of a 12-chapter book. All twelve are drawn with your child in them 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 A Very Merry Christmas is for

A Very Merry Christmas is the Christmas Eve book, not the Christmas Day one. It follows the trail of lights, the sky, and the waking up, and it is designed to be read in the hour when a child is too excited to sleep. Families who reread the same book every December are the reason it exists.

Nought to eight. The lights and the snow carry it for a toddler. From six the wonder chapter has enough in it to stay interesting on a fourth or fifth December. Reading level chosen at setup, which matters if this becomes an annual ritual.

For Lucy, who has never once managed to stay asleep past five on Christmas morning.

Every book opens on a dedication page. You write your own - this is one that suits this story.

Common questions

What age is A Very Merry Christmas for?

A Very Merry Christmas is written for ages 0-8. The story is generated at the reading level you pick during setup, so the same book works at the younger or older end of that range.

How is A Very Merry Christmas personalized?

You upload one photo of your child. That photo becomes the illustrated hero - same face shape, hair and skin tone - and stays recognizable across all 12 chapters. Their name, age 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 $14.90, softcover $38.90 and hardcover $42.90 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.
