Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Our Little Book?
- Our Little Book makes personalized, illustrated children’s storybooks. You create the characters, the people and pets you love, and we write and illustrate a keepsake hardcover collection of stories built around them.
- How does it work?
- You walk a short, guided setup: tell us who the book is for, build and approve the characters, and share a few story ideas. Then the book is written and illustrated for you, usually within minutes.
- How long does it take?
- The writing and illustrating happen within minutes, and you can watch it happen on screen. Setting up the details beforehand takes a few minutes of your time.
- Can the characters be pets or animals?
- Yes. People, pets, a beloved stuffed animal, even a mythical creature can all be characters. You describe each one and approve its art before any story is written.
- How are the illustrations made?
- Each character gets a reference illustration that you approve. That same character then appears consistently on every page, so the cast looks the same throughout the book.
- Do I own the book, and can I print it myself?
- Yes. The moment your book is finished, the file is yours to keep. Printing and binding a hardcover through us is optional, never required. We’d love to print yours, but you’re free to keep the file and do your own thing with it.
- Who is a book for?
- Any age. A grandparent, a new baby, a child, a sibling. Each book is a gift built around a specific person and the characters in their world.
- How involved do I get to be?
- As involved as you like. You can give a single sentence per story, or shape the settings, the scenes, and the details yourself. The book bends to how much you want to steer it.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes, a free account, so your book is saved as you go and you can return to finish it whenever you like.
