How it works

From a memory to a book on the shelf.

Five simple steps. You bring the photos and the memories. We illustrate the story, show you a digital preview, then beautifully print and deliver a keepsake made to last.

Tell us about them

Start with their name and a little about who they are: the soppy one, the explorer, the one who steals socks. The details you share shape how we bring them to life and the warmth of the story.

Gather your memories

Add the moments worth keeping: a first walk, a favourite nap spot, the day they chose you. Each memory becomes a chapter. Upload a few photos so the likeness is unmistakably them.

We illustrate your story

Each memory becomes a rich, characterful illustrated spread in your chosen style: a warm, British picture-book feel with watercolour-inspired illustrations, so your pet looks unmistakably like themselves.

Review your digital preview

Before anything is printed, you receive a full digital preview to review. Request tweaks to the wonky ear, the exact ginger or the look in their eyes, until it captures them exactly. Revisions are free.
