MyLittleStories

A personalised holiday book starring your child

Pack the suitcase — your child is going on holiday. Tell us where you're going and how you're getting there, and the story fills with it: somewhere new to explore, one brave try at something that's a bit much at first, and a moment of wonder to finish.

The journey there

A painted storybook page: two girls in car seats in the back of a car, one waving at sheep in the fields, the other holding a snack tin
By car, train, plane or ferry — whichever way you're going is the one in the pictures, from the packed boot to the window seat.

One brave try

A painted storybook page: a girl standing in the shallow sea with her arms out wide, laughing, her little sister paddling beside her
Something new is a bit much at first — the first cold wave, a big slide, a new food — and then your child tries it, all on their own.

Somewhere new every day

A painted storybook page: two girls on a clifftop, one on a bench looking through binoculars, the other pointing at a white lighthouse
A different place on every page — like an ice cream on the harbour wall, a rainy-day jigsaw, or a walk out to the lighthouse.

Something to wonder at

A painted storybook page: two girls sitting on the sand at sunset, the younger one leaning sleepily on her sister
And to finish, one small moment of wonder — a sunset, a perfect ice cream, or a tiny crab in a rock pool.
