First Communion

Communion is a day your child will never forget. Give a gift that's just as special: a storybook illustrated with pictures of your child, so they recognize themselves on every page. Not just any picture book, but their very own story where your child is the star. A gift to read together today, and treasure together for years to come.

A communion book with your child in the starring role

Communion is a festive day. With a personalized book, you create a lasting memory of it. Your child recognizes themselves right away: the illustrations are based on their own photo, not just on a name.

Add family or friends as a character in the story
A gift that goes beyond the day itself

More than just a name in a story

This is no standard book with a name slapped in. Your child is really in it, recognizable down to the details. Perfect as a keepsake from the communion, to read together and relive again and again.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make the communion book truly personal?

You upload a photo of your child. Our illustrators draw the main character based on it, capturing the same facial features and hair color. That way, your child recognizes themselves instantly in the story—not just by name, but by how they look.

Which photo should I choose for the best result?

A clear front-facing photo with good lighting and a simple background works best. The more visible your child's face, the more striking the illustrator can capture them in the book.

Can I also have a brother, sister, or boyfriend sign?

For books with multiple characters, you can often add photos of other children too. That way, siblings or friends naturally become part of the communion story, each one drawn to be recognizable.

Will my uploaded photo remain visible in the book?

No, the photo itself won't appear in the book. The illustrator uses it as a reference to draw the character, so your child is recognizable in the illustrations—not as a printed photograph.

Is this book suitable as a communion gift for every child?

Yes. You choose the story and the main character's appearance is customized to match your child's photo—for boys and girls alike, with their own face in the illustrations.
