Personalized children's books
A studio service
A superhero book where your child is the hero.
A 24-page picture book starring your kid. They get a name, a cape colour, a power, and an adventure — illustrated in our studio's hand-painted style. Printed, bound, and shipped in two weeks. No licensed characters, no clip-art, just a real book your child can show their friends.
N° 01Why this works
A book that puts your child at the centre of the story
Most personalized superhero books are template fills — the same generic hero with a name swapped in. Ours is a real book, illustrated by our studio's children's-book team. You tell us your child's name, what they look like, what their cape colour is, and what kind of adventure they'd want. We write and illustrate a 24-page story tailored to that brief.
01
24 pages of original art
Every spread illustrated for your child. Hand-painted watercolor or our digital painterly style — your choice.
02
Story written for them
We collaborate with you on the plot. A rescue mission, a friendship adventure, a problem they actually face — bullies, fear of the dark, a new sibling.
03
Their look, not a generic kid
Hair colour, skin tone, glasses, freckles, hijab, prosthetic — the hero is unmistakably them.
04
No licensed characters
No Marvel, no DC. Original superheroes designed for your story.
N° 02What you get
A real book, not a printable PDF
Hardcover, 8×8 inches, 24 pages, full-colour throughout, professionally bound. We send a digital proof for approval before printing. Production takes 7-10 days, shipping adds 3-5 days within the US/EU/UK.
N° 03How it works
Brief, illustrate, approve, ship
Step 1: fill out the brief — child's name, age, look, story preference, dedication. Step 2: our team writes the story and creates two character sketches for approval. Step 3: full illustrations and layout, sent as a digital proof. Step 4: print and ship. Total time: typically 14 days.

The answers we give most often.

- Typically 14 days from brief to your door. 7 days for writing and illustration, 4-5 days for printing and binding, plus shipping.
- Can my child have a hijab / glasses / a wheelchair / a prosthetic?
- Yes — the whole point is the hero looks like your child. Tell us in the brief and our illustrator builds the character around it.
- Is the story original?
- Yes. We don't reuse story templates. Every book has its own plot, written around your child's interests.
- Can the book be in another language?
- English is standard. Arabic, German, French, Spanish, and Urdu are available — add 10 days to the timeline for translated typography review.
- Is this halal-friendly?
- Yes. We can avoid any imagery you specify and include cultural details like a hijab, prayer beads, or a thobe naturally in the artwork. We do this for many Muslim clients.
- What if my child doesn't like the first draft?
- You get two free rounds of revision on the story and character design. Most books are approved on the first or second proof.
- Can I order more than one?
- Yes. Sibling discount is 30% off the second matching book. School/class sets of 10+ get bulk pricing — email hello@designkompanie.com.
