Questions
What ages are personalized books good for?
Sweet spot is 1–9 years. You choose the hero, the theme and the language, and the story adapts to the child's age.
How is this different from name-only personalized books?
Most personalized books swap in a name. FableNow illustrates the actual child from a photo — face, hair and all — so kids recognise themselves instantly.
Can two kids share one book?
Yes — siblings and friends can star together, and pets can join the cast too.
Will my child look like the photo?
You choose one of four styles made from the uploaded photo before checkout. For the closest resemblance, choose Maximum likeness at checkout.
What happens after I pay?
We create the cover first. You may change the title or request one free cover correction; the full book starts only after you approve it.
Can I fix a page?
Yes. In the digital book you can edit text or request a redraw up to three times per page. If you still need help, reply to our email.
When is a printed book sent to print?
You receive the digital edition first. A physical order stays on hold for about 12 hours before printing, giving you time to review it.
