Personalised children's book for Oakley👦

Why a book for Oakley?

A book where Oakley is the hero, with Oakley's own name in the text and Oakley 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 Oakley in particular. It suits birthdays, Christmas or a perfectly ordinary evening, and it is read again and again. Write a foreword to Oakley, and the book becomes a message to keep as well.

This suggestion is about gnomes: One December morning, a tiny door appears by the kitchen skirting board, with a note on its doorstep. You can choose another theme from our 90, and tell us what Oakley likes, and it will be woven into the plot.

It is quick. Fill in Oakley'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 Oakley 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 Oakley's book could begin

You were sure the door hadn't been there yesterday. It was no bigger than a matchbox, painted red, with a tiny brass handle. On the doorstep lay a note written in very small handwriting: “Please. We need help. Knock three times.”
