Before TalePaint, our team made personalised storybooks for families. This is what they said.
“Our book for our grandson arrived today just in time for Christmas. We are in awe of how beautiful and well designed this book is. The quality is amazing and the story line so sweet. Put a tear in my husband's eyes reading it.”
“This is the best option out there for a true custom book that actually looks like the child! The quality of the pages is beyond expectations and this is well worth the purchase.”
“The images of my granddaughter as the princess are so good and the story is beautiful. Thank you for a gift she will treasure forever ❤️”
Bedtime stories, of course. But also the story of how you met, a grandparent's eightieth, the dog who raised your kids. Add photos and the people in the book look like the people you love.
Woodland animals throw a Christmas party in the snow. A shy little hedgehog thinks he has no present to bring, but his gift turns out to be the best of all.
How we met: two strangers sharing one umbrella at a rainy bus stop, a first date over satay at a night market, and the proposal on a quiet beach at sunset. Sweet and a little funny, a Valentine's gift for my wife.
A sleepy little bear can't find his favourite star, so the moon helps him look. For my 3-year-old, calm and cosy.
For Grandpa's 80th birthday: his life from a boy in the village who loved flying kites, to the grandfather who teaches all his grandchildren how to make them fly.
A tribute to our old golden retriever, Mochi: muddy walks, stolen socks, naps in the sun, and how he made our house a home.
A girl builds a cardboard rocket and travels to every planet to find a best friend for the lonely moon.
A big sister gets ready for her new baby brother and discovers she's going to be the best teacher in the world.
Our 25 years together, told as a gentle fairy tale: the little flat, the first car that kept breaking down, two kids, one stubborn cat, and still dancing in the kitchen.

Yes. Add up to three photos of each person or pet and the storyteller paints them so they look like themselves on every page. Photos are only used to paint your book, are never shown publicly, and are deleted when you delete the book.
No. Bedtime stories, of course, but also how-we-met stories, anniversaries, birthdays for grandparents, tributes to pets. The storyteller works out who the book is for and writes for them. Everything stays tasteful enough to print and give.
