How it works
Tell us about your child
Their name, age and a few photos — it takes two minutes, right here.
Our studio illustrates them in
A real illustrator draws your child into every page. Your preview is ready in 48 hours.
You approve, we print
Nothing prints until you love every page. Hardcover at your door in 5–7 days.
Our promise: a real illustrator hand-checks every book, and you approve it before it prints.
Hand-checked by our studio
Unlike instant-print apps, a real illustrator reviews every Picture Me book — then you approve it before it prints. No surprises, ever.
The moment they see themselves
Bedtime is about to get magical
Start with their name — see the cover change before your eyes.
“Such a fun idea that makes bedtime stories even more special. A keepsake we'll always treasure.”
