5 out of 5 starsDeborah runs a wonderful home business that fills a great niche for grandparents looking for a unique and special gift. Aside from receiving a well-made product in a timely manner, Deborah is responsive, accommodating, and sells reasonably priced products. I have already recommended her photo books to several of my friends. The fact that she lives in AU (for those of us living in the US), provides no road blocks to requesting, paying for, and receiving well-crafted custom soft books. I liked the first soft book I ordered so much that I've ordered a second one. Then I received a video from my daughter-in-law of my grandson "reading" the page in the book with my picture on it! A proud abuela

5 out of 5 starsWonderful personal service. Couldn't ask for more. This is the second time I have ordered a chewable personalized family photo book and would very highly recommend it. It is a personal new baby gift that will be cherished for many years to come, making it extra special by including the memories of lost loved ones. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our baby girl "taste-testing" My Chewable Book of Babies. -
![]()
Work in progress.
Babies need books
I have a love of reading and a firm belief that children need to be exposed to books early. Before becoming a mum I worked as a graphic designer in the UK and later as a primary school teacher in Australia where I now live with my husband and two children.
"Chewable" cloth books were first made for our baby boy using photos of him printed on rainbow coloured cotton pages. Then I made another using photos of different coloured trucks and cars and tractors placed on matching coloured pages. I also wrote and illustrated a little cloth book for our boy, called "Who Loves You Baby", based on family photos.
Now I have a growing range of rainbow coloured cloth photo books, plus a range of black and white cloth photo books. I also make custom cloth photo books. I love making these as they are quite unique and special and mean a lot to the families who receive them.

Shop policies
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Payment
International customers please note that my prices are set in AU (Australian) dollars. Etsy automatically convert these to your local currency so prices go up and down slightly with the current exchange rate.
Shipping
Customs fees are the responsibility of the buyer. I am required to declare the actual value of the order on the customs form.
UK Buyers:
When purchasing from my shop for shipment to the UK please note that you may be charged VAT taxes at the time of delivery. The payment of these taxes is the responsibility of the purchaser (you). I cannot be held responsible for taxes that are charged in your country for the import goods purchased from my shop.

Additional policies and FAQs
Your cloth book/s will be sent in a biodegradable clear cellulose bag and paper 'Tough Bag' envelope. Please compost or recycle.
WASHING YOUR CLOTH BOOK
Please wash your cloth book/s before giving to baby. Simply place your book/s in a pillowcase or washing bag and machine wash on a COLD & DELICATE setting. Line dry in the shade. Cloth books made from cotton fabric will fade slightly over time; this is normal because cotton is a natural fibre. Drying your cloth book in the sun will contribute to colour loss as will front loading washing machines due to the increased tumbling action during cleaning.
