Founding prices apply to your first order. Prices include delivery to UK and US addresses. US prices exclude any sales tax, which is shown at checkout.
Nothing is charged today, except an optional £1$1 refundable deposit.
Every founding book comes with a free digital follow-up story starring the same hero, sent in January, for the post-Christmas slump. Hardback and softcover orders also include gift wrap.
If you're not happy with your printed book, tell us within 30 days of delivery. We'll fix the story and reprint it free, or refund you in full, your choice. Printing damage is always replaced.
Order by Fri 27 November for UK Christmas delivery, or Fri 20 November for the US. These dates are provisional: printers publish their 2026 cut-offs in November and we'll confirm them when orders open.
If we can't get your book to you before Christmas, you can have a full refund or a free digital copy now, and the printed book in January.
Founding orders open to the waitlist first on Thu 5 Nov 2026. Any places left after 48 hours go to the public.
No. We never ask for or accept photos. Your child's hero is a character you choose from our character pictures.
Made with AI help, checked by us, approved by you. You see a preview of every page and approve it before we print. We don't use your child's details to train AI models.
Not yet. We're checking whether enough families want it before Christmas orders open. That's why it's a waitlist and a refundable £1$1.
Only a first name and a few things they love. The age range just helps us pitch the story right. No surname, birthday, school or photo.
Ages 2 to 8 read best. Older children like it as a gift too.
24 pages, square format, about 21 cm (8.5 in) across.
See "Christmas dates" above. Outside the Christmas rush, about 7 to 10 working days from your approval.
It holds a founding place and puts you at the front of the queue. It's refundable any time, comes off your order, and is refunded automatically if orders haven't opened by 30 November 2026.
UK and US addresses only for now.
