Halloween

Halloween is about dressing up, getting spooked, and laughing together at who dares to do the scariest thing. In a Booklydoo Halloween book, your child is the star—drawn from their own photo, recognizable from head to toe in every thrilling scene. They wander between pumpkins, ghosts, and secret paths, brave enough to take on the adventure. Upload a photo, choose the story, and give a book where your child sees themselves right there among the scares.

Create your book

A delightfully eerie main character: your child

You send us a photo of your child and we draw the main character of the story based on it. No costume needed: in the book, your child will recognize themselves instantly, from hair color to smile, as they go through an exciting Halloween adventure.

More than just a name

We don't just slap a name onto an existing story. The illustrations themselves are based on the photo you upload, so your child actually sees themselves featured on every page, among pumpkins, ghosts, and nighttime adventures.

Nice to hand out during a Halloween party, as a surprise in the classroom, or simply to read together by candlelight. A book where your child is the hero themselves—that's something no one will forget quickly.

Frequently asked questions

How do you ensure my child really looks like themselves in the Halloween book?

You upload a clear photo of your child, and our illustrators draw the character based on it. The face shape, hair, and skin tone match perfectly, so your child instantly recognizes themselves among the ghosts and pumpkins. So much more changes in the story than just the name.

Can I also include a brother, sister, or pet in the story?

Yes, in many of our Halloween books you can add extra characters. Just upload a photo of each child or pet you'd like to include, and we'll illustrate them all in the same style. That way, it becomes an adventure they experience together.

Is a Halloween book too scary for young children?

We keep things thrilling in a fun way—never frightening. Think cheerful ghosts, silly witches, and a playful wink at spooky stuff that fits young readers perfectly. Your child is the hero of the story and conquers every little exciting moment on their own.

Can I see what the book looks like before I decide to order it?

Once you've uploaded the photos, you'll see a preview of how your child appears in the final design. That way, you can be confident the likeness is perfect before moving forward. We only finalize the book once you're completely happy with it.

Does a photo of a baby or toddler also work well for this type of personalization?

Of course, the clearer the face in the photo, the better the result. With babies and toddlers, we pay special attention to distinctive details like hair color and facial features, so even the smallest ones can see themselves in their own Halloween adventure.
