Most personalized books swap in a name and a face. We write the whole plot around who your child really is — what they love, the fear they're facing, a moment they were proud of — then print it as a keepsake hardcover they'll actually keep.

a Tale & Fawn keepsake
Every book is one-of-a-kind — the plot is built around one real child.
The difference is the story, not the sticker
Every other "custom" book runs the same plot for every child and changes the name on the page. That's a name swap, not a personal story. A child can tell.
We do the harder thing: we write a one-of-a-kind adventure where your child's real self drives what happens — their trait is what solves the problem, their real fear is the obstacle they face down, their proud moment echoes at the ending.
Two children never get the same book.
From "tell us about them" to a book on the shelf
A few real things — what they love right now, what they're a little scared of, a moment they were proud of. Takes about two minutes.
A one-of-a-kind adventure built from those real details, with an illustrated version of your child on every page — from a photo, or built to match in our character designer.
Preview your child inside the story before you pay. Approve it, and we print and ship a premium keepsake hardcover.
What "personalized" should have meant all along
A real sample page goes here at launch — the emotional beat on it could only belong to one child.
However you know them, we can write them
The one gift that's only theirs: a story where they're the hero and the plot is built around who they are.
Help them see themselves as the family changes, written around their feelings — not a generic big-sibling script.
You know them better than any template does. Tell us the real stuff; we'll make the book only you could have given.
A story where your child faces the exact thing that scares them — and it's their own trait that gets them through.
When the book is actually about them, they want to turn the page.
Built to survive bedtime for years
A premium hardcover, 8.5 inches square, printed on thick color pages with a matte cover and a proper bound spine. This is a book made to be kept and re-read — not tossed after a week.
