A storybook for an adult
A personalized storybook for an adult: for a husband, wife, mom, dad, or a milestone birthday
A story whose main hero is the person you are giving it to. You tell us the occasion and shared memories, and we turn them into an illustrated book with the hero's name in the title.

What a page looks like
The first page of the same sample book: the illustration and the text as they will appear in your book. A memory about Saturday cheese pancakes and Zemfira songs in the questionnaire became a morning scene in the kitchen.
In the house where Alina lived, Saturdays began not with an alarm clock but with the smell of cottage cheese, butter and a lightly browned crust. Outside the window it had not yet decided whether the day would be clear, and in the kitchen a frying pan was already waiting, ready for important work. Dmitry appeared in the doorway with the most innocent look, which usually means: breakfast has been awaited for a long time.
The sample was made from an invented questionnaire; the text here is a translation of the original. Your book will be about your hero, their occasion and their memories.
Who it is for
The book is built from your shared memories, so it fits where an ordinary gift feels too simple.
Mom
For a milestone birthday, Mother's Day or just "thank you": a story where mom is the main heroine and the scenes are family stories you remember together.
Dad
For a birthday or Father's Day: a warm story about what he taught you, with kind humor if dad likes it.
Husband
For an anniversary or a birthday: a journey in which your shared memories come alive.
Wife
A gift you cannot buy in a store: your story in a fairy-tale world, with her name in the title.
Colleague or boss
To say thank you for working together or to see someone off to a new place: the book speaks about deeds and human merits — warmly and appropriately.
For a milestone birthday
A big date worth marking not with a card but with a story made of the memories of the whole family or team.
How it works
Upload a photo
One photo of the hero with a clearly visible face — yours or another adult's who has given you permission. Before uploading you confirm consent to photo processing.
Tell us the occasion
The occasion, who the gift is from, and 3 to 5 shared memories. Each one becomes a scene in the book.
Get the book
The preview is free, before payment. The finished book usually appears 40–60 minutes after payment; the printed one arrives after printing and delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Will the hero look like the person in the photo?
A neural network creates the illustrations from the uploaded photo, but we do not promise an exact resemblance: it depends on the photo and the chosen style. You will see the hero in the free preview before payment and can pick a suitable version.
What do I need to provide?
A photo of the hero with a clearly visible face, their name and age, the occasion, who the gift is from, and 3 to 5 shared memories. We do the plot, illustrations and layout.
Can I order a book for a colleague or a boss?
Yes. Choose the occasion "For a colleague or a boss" and tell us about work and human merits: the book will be warm and appropriate. We do not add personal or romantic hints to such books.
How fast is the book ready and how do I get it?
The free preview takes a couple of minutes. After payment the book is usually ready in 40–60 minutes: you can read it online and download the PDF. We send the printed book to the printing house: printing takes 3–5 days, delivery 5–7 business days. Shipping is calculated at checkout from your address and shown before you pay.
Is the person's consent to the photo needed?
Yes. Before uploading the photo you confirm that the person in it is you, or is not a resident of Illinois and has given you permission to use the photo and their image in the book — this is a separate checkbox in the creation window. The photo is needed only to create the book and is deleted within the periods stated in the Biometric Data Consent.
