Sample story
The waves crash against the rocks with a sound like thunder, and Charlotte sighs. This is not the beach day she had in mind. The sky is pale, the sand is damp, and the big stretch of golden shore she imagined is nowhere to be found. She kicks at a pebble and watches it skitter toward a cluster of dark, wet rocks. That's when she sees it — a flash of violet, bright as a jewel, tucked into a crack between the stones. Charlotte crouches down. Her breath catches. There, hidden beneath a curtain of emerald seaweed, is a tide pool no bigger than a dinner plate, and it is alive. A tiny purple sea star clings to the rock's edge. A hermit crab shuffles sideways, its borrowed shell clicking against stone. The water is so clear she can see every grain of sand on the bottom, shimmering like gold dust. Something moves deeper in the pool — something she has never seen before. Charlotte leans closer, her fingers gripping the cool, rough rock, salt spray misting her cheeks. The water ripples, and two tiny eyes peer up at her from beneath a ribbon of kelp…

What Parents Say About Booklydoo's Personalized Books
Thousands of happy families have created magical memories with personalized books
Made two books for my daughter Emma with Booklydoo. My daughter loves seeing herself in the books. She proudly shows them off to her friends.
Sarah Smith, Leeds
For my son's seventh birthday we wanted something personal. He's crazy about pirates and treasure, so I took that idea and ran with it on the site. When he got the book all he could shout was 'that's me!' and he didn't let go of it for the rest of the afternoon. The kind of book he'll probably still find back on his bookshelf years from now. Highly recommend.
Renske Verstegen, Eindhoven
Ordering was straightforward, plenty of choice in themes and categories. For our son, who often heads into the woods with his grandad, the choice was easy. Solid hardcover, thick paper, fast delivery. A bit pricier than a regular kids' book, but then this isn't a regular kids' book.
Michaela Blanche, Madrid
Not just nice because it's personalized, the story itself is about friendship and courage. My son and I had really good conversations about it. So more than just a gift.
Cecilia Tjernström, Stockholm
A book about my daughter and her best friend Lily. What a lovely idea. They got every detail right: hair color, eye color, even the hobby I'd mentioned in the notes. It really feels like a book made just for her.
Julie McCoy, Dublin
We ordered this book for our daughter Julie's sixth birthday, with the theme set as her own birthday party, very fitting. Out of all the gifts that day, this was the one she kept coming back to. Her friends immediately wanted to know if they could get 'a book of their own' too. Well made, thick paper, the kind of gift that sticks around.
Emeline, Paris
Ordered one for myself first. As a photographer I'm around images all day and I wanted to see what a personalized book about me would look like. I'm already working on books for my nephew and niece.
Marieke, Wijchen
We're moving soon and our daughter (9), who doesn't handle change well, was visibly having a hard time with it. Different school, different house, away from her friends. I was looking for a way to open up the conversation about it and that's how I came across Booklydoo. A book in which she's the main character and moves to a new home together with her family. Since we started reading it together she talks about it more easily and asks questions instead of shutting down. Not just a nice book to read aloud, but for us also a real help.
Traper Wudzih, Magdeburg
Seeing her face light up when she realized she was the main character was priceless. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is perfectly age-appropriate.
