Ready goes far beyond putting a name on the cover. Your child's character — how they look, who they are — appears on every page of the story.
We transform your photo into a consistent 3D cartoon illustration style that feels truly part of the story world, not pasted on top of it.

Your child's name, photo-based illustrated character, skin tone, hair and eye colour, and language of choice. The character appears consistently throughout all 30 pages of the story, looking like a natural part of the illustration style — not like a photo cut and pasted in.
Yes. After entering your personalisation details, you can preview every page of the book before completing your purchase. If you're not happy with how it looks, you can adjust the details and regenerate. You only pay once you're delighted.
Ready covers three age ranges: 0–3 years (simpler text, large warm illustrations), 3–6 years (picture book style, slightly richer narrative), and 6–10 years (adventure-focused, more detailed story text). You select the age range during personalisation and the text level adjusts automatically.
Ready personalises an existing story from our illustrated collection — the story narrative is the same for everyone who chooses that theme, but your child's name and face are woven in. Yours generates a completely new, original story from scratch, built around your child's specific personality, hobbies, favourite things and the people they love. If you want something unique to your child, Yours is the right choice.
