Baptism

A baptism is a joyful beginning, and that deserves a book you'll treasure forever. Send us a photo of your little one, and our illustrators create a story with your child as the true main character—recognizable from head to toe. Not just a generic book with a name inserted, but a genuine adventure where your child is authentically themselves. A lasting memory of this special day, to read aloud now and revisit together for years to come.

A baptism never to be forgotten

Baptism is a special moment, for your little one and for your family. With a personalized picture book, you make that moment even more special. You upload a photo of your child and our illustrators draw the story with your child as the main character. It's not just the name that changes—your child's entire appearance is featured: your little one is simply themselves, from head to toe.

More than just a gift

A baptism book is not a toy that disappears into the cabinet after a few weeks. It's a story you can read together, now and in years to come. A keepsake your child will open again someday and think: that's me.

  • Perfect as a christening gift from godparents, grandparents, or friends
  • A warm memory of the day of baptism
  • Every book is signed with a photo of your child

Choose a story that fits your family and give your child a book where they play the main character.

Frequently asked questions

How will my child be recognizable in the book?

You upload a photo of your child and our illustrators draw the main character based on it. That way your child gets their own face, hair, and eye color in the story. It's not just the name that changes — the whole character looks like your child.

Is this book suitable as a baptism gift for a baby?

Absolutely. The book is specially designed to celebrate baptism and is perfect for babies and toddlers. Later, as your child grows, it becomes a treasured keepsake of that special day.

Can I also have the godparents or family sign in the book?

With some books, you can let a sibling or other loved one join alongside your child. Simply upload a photo of that person and they'll be drawn with the same care as your child.

Which photo works best for a good illustration?

Choose a sharp photo where the little one's face is clearly visible, ideally straight-on and without sunglasses or a hat. A simple background helps our illustrators capture every detail perfectly.

Can I customize the text in the book for the christening?

You can fill in your little one's name and often add a personal message too. This makes the book not just a visual keepsake of the baptism, but a truly personal one.
