Parents the world over have realised that the only birthday gift that won’t lose its allure is a personalised book.

Let’s dive right in.

What is a personalised book?

It’s a book where you alter the appearance of an animated character on a web page so it looks just like you, your child, pet, etc. You choose the gender, insert the names and change the hairstyle, the skin tone, the colour of the eyes, etc. to resemble the birthday boy or girl.

Why do kids love it?

Firstly, kids love seeing themselves in a book! They are familiar with books from an early age, but they rarely imagine that they could be the main character of one! Moreover, understanding that they are the star of the story helps build a child’s self-esteem and keeps them interested in the birthday gift for much longer.
