What's included in the price

  • Your child illustrated from one photo, with their name on every page.
  • A dedication of your own on the first page.
  • A free cover preview before you pay, with several cover options to choose from.
  • Printing to order by our US print partner, free standard shipping within the US, tracking by email.
  • A free reprint if the book arrives damaged, with a printing defect or with a different name than you entered.

Why does a personalized book cost more than a regular picture book?

A regular picture book is printed in thousands of copies. Your Fablewish book is illustrated for one child, checked page by page and printed as a single copy. That's why it costs more – and why it's the one book nobody else has.

Ways to save

  • Two kids? Your second printed book is 25% off: two paperbacks come to $60.58 together.
  • Tight budget? The e-book ($12.99) is the full story with your child as the hero – read it on a tablet.
  • Want both? Add the e-book to a printed book for $7.99 instead of $12.99.
