Don’t Just Take Our Word For It… Watch Theirs
Loved by Families
“The illustrations are beautiful, but what impressed me most was how much it actually looked like my son. I'd expected something quite generic, but it genuinely felt like he was part of the story.”
David C.
son, age 6
“My daughter has asked for this book every night since it arrived. She loves finding herself on each page, and I love that it's become part of our bedtime routine.”

“Bought this for my nephew's fifth birthday instead of another toy. His mum messaged me later saying it was the first thing he wanted to show everyone. Definitely a gift I'll use again.”
Tom W.
nephew, age 4
“I wasn't sure how well they'd manage to make it actually look like my grandson, but they really nailed it. He spotted himself straight away! Such a lovely keepsake.”
Margaret H.
grandson, age 5
“Bought this after seeing an ad and wasn't sure what to expect, but it's actually gorgeous. My little girl hasn't stopped talking about it since it came.”

Everything you need to know about Emberly Books.
Your child becomes the hero of the story. We create an original illustrated character based on your photo, drawn in the book's style, and weave their name and details throughout. Because it's an illustrated character, it's an artistic interpretation rather than an exact photographic likeness, and that's part of the magic.
Yes. For each book, you can browse sample illustrations and a full example book so you can see exactly what the finished product looks like before ordering. You'll also see a preview image featuring your child. Once you place your order, your child's personalized version is then created just for you.
Your child's privacy matters to us more than anything. We use the photo for one purpose only, to create your child's character, and the moment that's done, the photo is deleted immediately. We don't store it, archive it, or use it for anything else.
One clear, well-lit photo where your child's face is fully visible and facing the camera. Avoid sunglasses, hats, or anything covering the face. A bright, sharp, front-on photo gives the best result.
Our books are designed for children aged 0 to 10, from first keepsakes for the littlest ones to adventures for older children.
Choose your book, upload one clear photo of your child, and tell us a few details such as their name, age, gender, and hair and eye color. We create a unique illustrated character based on the photo and place your child at the heart of the story. Add a personal dedication if you'd like, pick hardcover or softcover, and check out.
Your personalized book is printed and shipped within 3–5 business days. Delivery time is additional and depends on your shipping destination. You'll see an exact estimated delivery date and cost at checkout before you pay.
Of course, our books make a lovely gift. We never include prices or invoices in the package, you can add a personal dedication, and you can ship the book straight to the recipient.
