A personalized first birthday book

A first birthday is the start of a lifetime of stories, so start with one where they are the star. Our Little edition is written for ages 1 to 4: one short rhyming couplet per page, made to be read aloud, with your little one illustrated into all 28 pages from one photo.

Add your own dedication inside the cover, and it becomes the book they grow up with, read on every birthday after. As they get older, the Full edition (ages 5 to 8) tells the complete story.

Questions

Will it work for a one-year-old?

Yes. The Little edition is written for ages 1 to 4, with one rhyming couplet per page. Use a clear photo where the baby's face is easy to see.

Which photo should I use for a baby?

A close, well-lit photo of the face, looking toward the camera, with no one else in the picture. See our photo guide for examples.

Can I add a birthday message?
