Real StorySafari example

Wren puts on wings. A fairy book appears.

Wren dressed as a butterfly, asked for a fairy story, became a watercolor character, and ended up reading her own printed book.

From screen to shelf

One personalized book can star the whole family

Personalized books often begin with a child's name. StorySafari goes further: the story can begin with the child's idea, their favorite kind of adventure, and a cast of siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, and pets.

That makes the book more than a novelty. It becomes proof that their imagination can become something real.

It also makes these books natural gifts. A personalized book is a birthday gift kids actually reread, and grandparents can create a keepsake gift for a grandchild from anywhere.

1

A familiar cast

Add one child or several siblings, plus parents, grandparents, friends, and pets.

2

Original adventures

Create a one-of-one story around a favorite topic, place, or question.

3

Printed keepsakes

Turn favorite stories into books families can read again and keep on the shelf.

Personalized printed book questions

The best personalized books do more than insert a name. They reflect a child's real interests, make room for the people and pets they love, and invite the child into the creative process.

StorySafari stories can be read in the app, continued later, and ordered as printed keepsakes when a story becomes a family favorite.

Can StorySafari make a personalized printed book for my child?

Yes. Create a personalized illustrated story in StorySafari, read the finished story in the app, and order a favorite as a printed keepsake book.

Can I include multiple children or siblings in one book?

Yes — in the StorySafari app, one story can include multiple children, siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, and pets in the same cast. The web book creator currently stars one main character per book.

How does my child become an illustrated character?

Start with a photo or create a character in the app. StorySafari turns that character and the child's ideas into a consistent illustrated adventure.

What printed book options are available?

StorySafari prints 6 × 9-inch keepsake books in full color. The web book flow currently offers hardcover with a choice of standard or premium color printing.

How much does a personalized printed book cost?

On the web, $20 completes your child's 24-page story and includes one hardcover copy. Shipping and applicable tax depend on destination, speed, and quantity — the exact quote appears at print checkout, after you review the finished pages and before any shipping charge.

Can I review the story before ordering the book?

Yes. You read the completed story in StorySafari before deciding whether to order it as a printed book.

Is a personalized book a good gift for a child?

Yes — a personalized book is a gift that stays on the shelf long after the occasion. Families order StorySafari books as birthday gifts, gifts from grandparents, and holiday keepsakes, because the child is the hero of a story only their family could make.
