Dear Little Book
The process

Simple to order.
Magical to receive.

From your answers to a finished hardcover book — here's how it works.

01
Fill out the questionnaire

Tell us about the child — their personality, favorite things, a memory that matters, and the wish you want to whisper through the story. Takes about 10 minutes.

02
Send us their photos

A few recent photos is all we need. We transform them into beautiful illustrations that look like them — not a generic avatar.

03
We write & illustrate

Our team crafts a story built entirely around your answers — their real name, their quirks, their world, and the core memory you shared.

04
A keepsake arrives

A hardcover, professionally printed book — delivered to your door. The kind of thing they'll ask to read every night and keep forever.

What makes it special

Not a template.
Their actual story.

✦
Photo-to-illustration

We work from your photos to create a character who is unmistakably them — their hair, their eyes, their expression — rendered in beautiful storybook art.

◈
A real memory woven in

That caterpillar they watched become a butterfly. The way they still reach for your hand. We take a moment you treasure and build the story around it.

❧
Wishes from the giver

Whatever you want them to know — that they are brave, that they are loved, that they belong — lives inside the story, felt without ever being stated.

◻
Hardcover, printed & delivered

A real book. Professional binding, quality paper, full-color illustrations. The kind that sits on the shelf and gets read until the spine goes soft.

For gift-givers

Your love, on every page.

A Dear Little Book book isn't just for the child — it's for the person giving it too. Your words, your memories, your wishes become part of the story itself.

Pricing

One book. One price.
No decisions required.

Everything that makes it special is included — the questionnaire, the photo illustrations, the story, the memory, the wishes. One flat price.

Frequently asked questions

Every book is produced and shipped within 7–10 business days. We recommend ordering at least two weeks before a birthday or holiday to be safe.
Dear Little Book books are for children of any age. Just tell us how old they are in the questionnaire and we'll tailor the story to feel just right for them.
3–5 recent, clear photos works perfectly. We just need to see their face, hair, and general look. Candid photos often work better than formal ones — the goal is to capture how they actually look day to day.
Yes — we send a digital proof for your approval before anything goes to print. You'll have one round of revisions included. We want you to love it before it's made.
Absolutely. The questionnaire is designed for exactly this — whether you see the child every day or twice a year. Even a few specific details make a story feel deeply personal. You know more than you think you do.
Yes — we ship worldwide. International shipping typically adds 5–7 business days. Exact shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on destination.
