A Christmas storybook where your child is the hero

A gift for more than the morning

Many Christian families want Christmas morning to be about more than the pile under the tree. Then the paper is cleared, the batteries run down, and by January the plastic gifts are forgotten. The things children actually keep tend to be the things someone read to them.

A Blessed Fables book is built for that. It is a short illustrated story in a faith-rooted story world, with your child as the hero and a gentle lesson you choose. Read a few pages on an Advent evening, save the rest for Christmas Eve, or give it on the morning itself. Either way, it becomes a book they can ask for at bedtime.

How it works

1. Tell us about your child. Enter their name, choose how they look, and pick a faith-rooted story world and the gentle lesson you'd like it to carry.
2. Watch it paint itself. The digital storybook arrives by email within minutes of ordering and illustrates itself on screen, page by page. Keepsake is 12 pages; Heirloom is 20.
3. Keep it forever. The finished book is yours as a PDF. Add a printed softcover book if you want something to wrap and place on the shelf.

Who it's for

Parents who read together at Advent or bedtime and want a book with their own child in it. Grandparents who live far away and want to give something that speaks in their place. Godparents, aunts and uncles shopping for a godchild, niece or nephew, where a story with the child's own name is more personal than another toy.

It is a gentle, church-friendly gift for ages 1 to 8, and if the child isn't yours you can send it as a gift: a private gift code and printable card arrive by email, and the family personalizes the story together.
