MyLittleStories

A personalised storybook about a real day in your child's life

This is where MyLittleStories began. In July 2025 I made my daughter a storybook about a bike she'd only just learned to ride, and she made us read it eleven times. A Real Life book is that book for your child: a real day, told in your words, with your child as the star.

Your day, in your words

A watercolour storybook page: a dad crouching to steady a little girl on a red bike with stabilisers on a park path
You describe what happened on each page — who's there, where they are and what they're doing — and we illustrate it, with your child as the star.

The days worth keeping

A watercolour storybook page: a little girl pedalling a red bike along a path, a dad running beside her and her big sister cheering
A first wobbly go on a bike, a seaside trip, a muddy-puddle Sunday: the real days you'll want to read again.

The little moments too

A watercolour storybook page: a girl on a blue bike on a park path between two smiling grown-ups, a wooden bench behind
The cosy ride home and the bits in between, the small moments a photo album skips.

Change the words if you like

A watercolour storybook page: a dad cheering with both arms up as a girl on a bike with stabilisers rides past, waving
Once your book is made, you can rewrite the words on every page, right up until you order a hardcover.

Questions

What can the story be about?
Any real day: a holiday, a birthday, a first bike ride, a trip to see family. You describe each page and we illustrate it.
Can I change the words?
Yes. Once your book is made, you can rewrite the text on every page, up until you order a hardcover. The descriptions you write for the pictures can't be changed once the book is made, because each picture is drawn from them.
Who can be in the book?
Up to six characters in all — the people in your family, and your pet counts as one of the six.
How long is the book?
14 or 15 illustrated pages of story — you choose.
What age is it for?
It is written to three reading ages: babies and toddlers, three to four, and five and up. Same story, different words.
What is the hardcover like?
A hardback book, 210 × 297 mm, printed in the UK on 150gsm paper with a gloss finish.

The hardcover is £20 on top of the ebook, plus £3.95 UK delivery (£9.95 for Remote UK: NI, Highlands & islands, Aberdeen, Isle of Wight, Scilly).
