Why a story Of My Own
We didn't add our kids into someone else's template. We made the whole thing from scratch.
You know those personalised books where the 'diverse' option is a darker template? We didn't do that. We started with our children.
Rich painterly illustrations inspired by Kadir Nelson. Luminous skin, detailed textures, real artistry.
Skin tone, hair style, facial features — because your child deserves a character that actually looks like them.
The greetings, the food, the Saturday mornings — we wrote it from the life your child already lives.
Wheelchair users, hearing aids, vitiligo. Every child sees themselves.
150gsm silk pages, vibrant colour printing, durable hardcover binding. A book built to last.
Loved by families
“My daughter saw the cover and said 'That's ME, Mummy!' I've never seen her react to a book like that.”
Tasha M.
Mum of 2, London
“The hair — the little box braids — were perfect. She carries it everywhere. Best gift I ever bought.”
Gloria A.
Grandma, Birmingham
“Finally, a personalised book that doesn't just paint a white character brown. The cultural details are spot on.”
Daniel O.
Dad, Manchester
“Gallery-quality illustrations in a children's book. I ordered three more for my nieces on the spot.”
Keisha W.
Auntie, Atlanta
Deeply personal
Pick your family's background and the whole story shifts — the greetings, the food on the table, the way Grandma says hello. Your child reads it and thinks “that’s us.”
More backgrounds coming soon — Somali, East African, South African, and more. Every family welcome.
In your child's book, they'll read:
“E ku abiyamo”
We greet the one who has given birth
