Everything you need to know about Emberly Books.
Your child is a pirate captain whose treasure map is torn up by the wind. Sure that a proper captain sails alone, they set off with Pip the parrot to get the pieces back, and end up needing every friend they meet along the way.
Pip the parrot is with them all the way. Along the route they help three otters with a torn sail, a flock of hungry gulls and a crew of crabs stuck at the foot of a rock.
That asking for help isn't a weakness. The captain starts out determined to do it all alone and finishes by sharing the gold with a whole crew. The line that repeats is "the best kind of treasure is never found alone".
Yes. It's written in bouncy rhyme with a chant to join in on, "Heave together, ho together", and it ends by asking your child who they would set sail with next.
The Wobbly Treasure Map is written for children aged 4 to 8. Younger children enjoy the rhyme and the animal crews as you read, while older ones can read it themselves and follow the captain's change of heart.
The Wobbly Treasure Map has one hero, so each copy is personalised for one child. Some of our other books let you add more characters, such as additional children, a parent, a grandparent or a pet. Each book's label shows who can be added.
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 personalised 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.
Your personalised book is printed and dispatched 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 parcel, you can add a personal dedication, and you can ship the book straight to the recipient.
