Printed on the last page. Up to 150 characters.
Your child's photo
After you order, we email you a private link to add the photo. We check the face on every page and send you a preview before anything is printed.
£32 including free UK delivery.
Each book is made for your child, so it can't be cancelled once ordered. You see a preview before we print, with up to two free redraws.
What happens in the story
What's at the back
The last spread is for you, the grown-up reading. It gives you the words to use when the real moment comes: one thing to say, one question to ask, and one small thing to try on the day.
Words for the real moment
- You could say
- “Your boat is ready. I'll see you in the morning.”
- Try together
- “What will your boat sail past tonight?”
- In real life
- Keep the same steps every night, and the same goodnight words if they get up.
- Read it again
- Read this story a few nights in a row, and once more just before the day itself.
Is it really their face?
Yes. The illustrations are made from the photo you send, and a person checks your child’s face on every page before anything is printed.
You see a preview first. If something doesn’t look like your child, tell us and we redraw it: up to two free redraws. If it still isn’t right, you get a full refund and nothing is printed.
Delivery
Free UK delivery on every book. We print your book once you approve the preview.
[Christmas cut-off and delivery times: to add once the printer is signed and confirms dates.]
Questions
Are the illustrations made with AI?
Yes. The illustrations are made with AI from the photo you send us. A person checks your child’s face on every page before anything is printed.
What happens to my child’s photo?
It is used only to make your child’s book. It is never used to train AI models, and it is deleted after printing on the schedule in our privacy notice.
What photo works best?
One clear, recent photo of your child’s face, looking towards the camera, in good light, with nobody else in the picture.
What if it doesn’t look like my child?
Tell us, and we redraw it. You get up to two free redraws before we print. If it still isn’t right, we refund you in full and nothing is printed.
Can I buy it as a gift?
Yes. Choose “A gift” and add the parent or carer’s email. We send them a private link to add the photo and approve the preview, so you never need the photo yourself.
Can I change my order?
Email hello@raisedready.co.uk as soon as you can. Once the preview is approved, the book goes to print and can’t be changed.
