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 β 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 β read it on a tablet.
- Want both? Add the e-book to a printed book for $7.99 instead of $12.99.
