StorySafari
Step 1
Start with the child
A real photo gave the story its hero: Wren in her butterfly dress.
The Niece & Nephew Adventure Book
Create a storybook for your favorite niece or nephew
Be the aunt or uncle whose gift gets kept. Make them the hero of a one-of-one illustrated adventure built on the things they love — even if you live an ocean away.
Made for one kid
More personal than putting a name in a template
Every StorySafari book begins with the child and an idea you choose. One detail you know about them is enough to start.
1
Make them the hero
Use a photo from their parents or describe them to create their illustrated character.
2
Add your spark
Their dinosaur phase, your shared joke, the trip you keep promising — one detail is plenty.
3
Send the keepsake
Review the complete book and ship the hardcover straight to their door.
Real StorySafari example
From a real photo to a finished storybook
Wren dressed as a butterfly, asked for a fairy story, became a watercolor character, and ended up reading her own printed book.
Step 2
Create the character
StorySafari turned that moment into a reusable illustrated character.
Wren's idea
A fairy story
Her prompt became a secret fairy land beneath the redwoods.
Step 3
Ask what they want
The story starts from the child's own spark, not a generic template.
Step 5
Send the keepsake
The story you made together becomes the hardcover they keep.
Aunt and uncle story starters
Begin with the thing they cannot stop talking about
1
The visit that turned into a quest
A weekend at their favorite aunt or uncle's place turns into a treasure hunt only the two of you could have invented.
2
The obsession of the month
Dinosaurs, rockets, mermaids, excavators — whatever it is this month, the story takes it gloriously seriously.
3
The promise trip
The adventure you keep saying you will take together happens first in the pages of their own book.

Niece and nephew book questions
Can an aunt or uncle make a personalized book for a niece or nephew?
Yes. Create your niece or nephew as the illustrated main character, choose an adventure built on the things they love, and order the finished story as a hardcover keepsake.
What if I do not know every detail about them?
One good detail is enough — a favorite animal, an obsession of the month, or a photo from their parents. StorySafari shapes the rest of the adventure around it.
How much does the book cost?
On the web, $20 completes the 24-page story and includes one hardcover. Shipping and applicable tax are quoted at print checkout after the finished book is ready for review.
Can the book ship straight to their house?
Yes. At print checkout you choose the recipient name and shipping address. StorySafari currently offers shipping to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
