Our Story

Every child deserves to be the hero

“Omo” means “child” in Yoruba. We made it mean something for every child: Of My Own. Personalised storybooks where your child is unmistakably the hero. Their face. Their hair. Their world. A story of their own.

A father reading an Omo Tales book with his child

The moment that started it all

It started with a bedtime story. A dad looking for a personalised book for his daughter — and realising nothing on the shelf looked like her. Not really. Not in a way that would make her point at the page and say 'that's me.' So he made one.

Built from the inside out

We started with the stories — the Saturday morning hair ritual, the lunchbox moment at school, the walk to the corner shop with Dad. Real moments from real families. Then we built the tech to put your child right in the middle of them. Every illustration is painted to look like your actual child. Because close enough isn't good enough.

The World Between

In our stories, there's a place called The World Between — where the everyday world meets the magical one. It's the crack in Grandma's old wardrobe. The shimmer on the surface of the river. The space between one heartbeat and the next. Every Omo Tales story crosses into The World Between, because we believe the best children's books teach without being caught teaching.

Koku the butterfly

Hidden in every story is Koku — a small golden butterfly who appears somewhere in every illustration. Sometimes you'll spot her straight away. Sometimes she's barely there. Koku is the thread that connects every story in the Omo Tales universe — a quiet reminder that across every kitchen, every walk, every morning and every family, your child is never alone.
