Create a book for Marley

Personalised children's book for Marley👦

Why a book for Marley?

A book where Marley is the hero, with Marley's own name in the text and Marley in the pictures. Here is a suggestion for how it could turn out.

A personalised book is a gift that shows you have thought of Marley in particular. It suits birthdays, Christmas or a perfectly ordinary evening, and it is read again and again. Write a foreword to Marley, and the book becomes a message to keep as well.

This suggestion is about the fire brigade: The alarm goes off at the fire station, and your child gets to put on a helmet and come along. You can choose another theme from our 90, and tell us what Marley likes, and it will be woven into the plot.

It is quick. Fill in Marley's age and interests, upload a photo and choose a style. A few minutes after payment the eBook is ready, and you can change the texts and pictures before you order it as a hardback.

Children love hearing their own name. When Marley sees themselves solve the riddle and save the day, the book becomes a favourite, and brothers, sisters, parents or the pet can join the adventure.

How Marley's book could begin

The alarm wailed through the station. The firefighters ran to the engine, and one of them turned round. “Come on, we need you,” she said, handing you a helmet that was just the right size.
