When to order for Christmas
A printed book is made only after you approve the print, so the delivery time starts at that moment and not when you place the order. The estimate for your country is listed under "At a glance" on this page. Treat it as an estimate rather than a promise: carriers get busy in December, and we cannot guarantee delivery by a particular date.
So allow generous extra time and give yourself a few days to read through the book before approving it. If it gets tight, the PDF is ready as soon as the book is finished, and what you paid for it is credited in full if you order a print later.
Ideas for a Christmas story
The best details are the ones only your family would recognize. Maybe your child helps Santa solve a problem with the sleigh, follows reindeer tracks across the backyard, or sets out to find the perfect present for a little brother.
If your family marks the season differently, say so in your own words; the story follows what you write. And if you would rather choose from a theme than make something up, you can do that too.
A gift for someone else’s child
You can also order for a child you do not live with, as a grandparent, aunt or godparent. You will need a photo or a short description and a few details from the parents, so it is worth asking early. Add yourself as a character if you would like to be in the story, and write your message in the dedication.
You can also order extra copies of the same book, for instance one for each household.

The book turned out so beautifully! The story is simple and really lovely, just right for a two-year-old. Thank you so much for the help. Such friendly contact! I'm sure our granddaughter will be delighted! Thank you!
Translated from German
I love everything about this book. The animation and the beautiful colors are just perfect. The story is absolutely delightful and we are going to have so much fun reading it aloud.
Translated from German
The book is written just right for children. I like it very much. The drawings are gorgeous! It's also great that you can still change the text yourself (e.g. add names).

Frequently asked questions
Will it arrive before Christmas?
We cannot guarantee a delivery date. Printed books usually arrive within the estimate shown on this page, counted from your print approval, and December shipping can take longer. Order early, and use the PDF if time runs short.
Do I have to make up the story myself?
No. Pick the Christmas theme and we suggest a plot. You can add your own ideas or change any text before printing.
What does the free preview image include?
You describe your characters or upload a photo, and we draw them in the illustration style you chose. It costs nothing and needs no payment details, and you only pay if you decide to order the book.
Can I change the book after ordering?
Yes. You read the finished book page by page before anything is printed. Text changes are unlimited, and you can regenerate up to 30 illustrations per book, the cover included. If you get stuck, email us and we will take a look together.
What if I do not like the finished book?
Printed books come with a money-back guarantee until you approve the print: tell us before then and we refund the full price. A digital PDF has a 14-day money-back guarantee.
