Personalized First Birthday Book | Custom Baby Name Story | 1st Birthday Keepsake Gift for Baby Girl Turning One

Personalized First Birthday Book — a custom baby name story for your little one's first year, and a 1st birthday keepsake gift they will keep for life.

Your child becomes the main character. Their name is on the cover and woven into every rhyme, so this is not a generic children's book — it is a personalized first birthday book made for one child only.

🎂 WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE THIS BOOK
• Your child's name woven through all 30 pages
• Choose the character that looks like your little one — 12 hair and skin tone options, in pink, blue or beige pyjamas
• A dedication page you write yourself — with or without your child's photo
• Soft watercolour illustrations and gentle rhyming text for ages 0–3
• Available in almost any language
• Four sizes, softcover and hardcover

📸 ADD YOUR CHILD'S PHOTO TO THE DEDICATION PAGE
The dedication page can now hold a real photo of your baby, framed beside your message. Send one photo with your order and we place it for you. Prefer text only? Leave the photo out and your message is centred on the page with the frame removed.

✏️ HOW TO PERSONALIZE — 4 STEPS
1) Enter your child's name exactly as it should be printed
2) Choose the avatar closest to your little one — hair colour, skin tone and outfit colour
3) Write your dedication message, or type "default" for our standard loving note, and tell us who the book is from (for example: With love, Mom & Dad)
4) Attach one photo if you would like it on the dedication page — this step is optional

Then choose your size, and we create your custom first birthday book.

❓ QUESTIONS WE ARE OFTEN ASKED
Is this a physical book? Yes — a real printed personalized book, not a digital download.

Is my child's name on every page? Yes, woven naturally through all 30 pages.

Is the photo required? No. The dedication page works beautifully with text alone.

Can I choose a boy character? Yes — 12 hair and skin tones, in pink, blue or beige.

Can you print in my language? Almost certainly. Name the language in your personalization note.

Can I send it straight to the recipient? Yes. Add a gift note at checkout.

What if I misspell the name? Message us straight away — we fix it before the book goes to print.

🎨 ABOUT THE ARTWORK AND THE PHOTOS
Every illustration inside the book is original artwork, drawn for this story.
Some of the styled scenes in this listing — the ones showing the book in a room or being held — were created with the help of AI. They are there to show scale and setting. The book itself, its artwork and its words, is my own work, and every copy is printed to order.

🤍MY PROMISE
Spelling prints exactly as you provide it, so please double-check the name. If the book arrives damaged or with a printing error, send me a photo and I'll replace it.
A note on colour: shades may shift slightly between your screen and print.
