What customers say
Bedtime favourites in real form.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Self-published my first children's book — 50 copies for the launch. Quality matches the big publishers at a fraction of the cost.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Made copies for every cousin at the family reunion. They've been re-read so many times the spines are creased — which is the best compliment a book can get.”
Children's Books questions
Children's book questions.
Can you handle illustrations from a tablet (Procreate, etc.)?+
Yes — Procreate, Photoshop, Affinity, even pencil-and-scan. Export at 300 DPI at print size and we'll handle the rest.
Is the paper safe for young children?+
Yes — we use food-safe, non-toxic inks and FSC-certified papers. Not designed for chewing (no book is), but completely safe to handle.
Can you do a personalised version (child's name in the story)?+
Absolutely. Send us the personalisation points and the child's name(s) — we'll integrate them and show you a preview before printing.
What if my book is short (under 24 pages)?+
We can print shorter books — saddle stitch (folded and stapled spine) is cost-effective for very thin storybooks down to about 8 pages.
