Step 1
Add a reference photo
Choose a clear image that shows their face and the details that make them unmistakable. Adding a photo is optional.
Personalized books that begin with your story
We don't insert a name into a story that already exists. We create one from scratch around the child, their companions, and the value you want it to carry, illustrated in the art style you choose.

What is a truly personalized children's book?
Most personalized books are templates: a story written in advance where the hero's name and look get swapped in. At Imagibo the plot itself is built around the child — their companions, their world, and a narrative heart you choose, like learning to ask for help, or courage.
That's why no two books are alike. You share what you know about the child in a guided questionnaire that takes a few minutes, and our creative studio turns it into a complete five-chapter story, with characters illustrated consistently across every page. You read the whole thing, free, and only then decide whether you want it printed.
Template or made-to-measure: the difference
| Template book | Imagibo | |
|---|---|---|
| The story | Already written; the same for every child | Written from scratch around your child |
| What you choose | A name, an avatar's look, a dedication | Characters, companions, world, the story's value, and the art style |
| Before paying | A preview of the template | You read the complete book with the cover and first chapter illustrated |
| The result | A personalized book | A personal book: a story that didn't exist before |
How it works
Tell us their world
A guided questionnaire that takes a few minutes: what the child is like, who joins the adventure, and the value you want the story to carry.
Read your complete story
In a few minutes the whole book is ready to read, with the characters, cover, and first chapter already illustrated. Free.
Order the printed book
If you love it, order it in print. The remaining illustrations are created after purchase and you watch them appear in your book live.
Photo personalization
From one photo to a character who still feels like them
The photo is a reference, not an image pasted into a ready-made story. It helps us create a recognizable illustrated hero who can live their own adventure.
Step 2
We create their illustrated portrait
Your chosen art style turns those traits into an original character instead of trying to make a photorealistic copy.
Step 3
The character enters the story
That portrait becomes the reference that keeps the hero recognizable across the cover and story scenes.
This example uses a staged photo from an Imagibo demo book. Customer photos stay private and are never published without separate permission.
Add a photo when you create your storyChoose from art styles curated one by one
Every story is illustrated in the art style you choose, with characters kept consistent across every page.

How is this different from other personalized books?
The story doesn't exist until you create it. Typical personalized books start from a pre-written template; here the plot, the characters, and the message grow out of what you tell us about the child.
Can I see the book before paying?
Yes — all of it. Creating the story is free and you can read every page, with the cover and first chapter illustrated, before deciding whether to order the printed book.
Which languages can I create it in?
English, Spanish, and Catalan. The story is written natively in the language you choose, never translated afterwards.
What ages does it work best for?
Roughly ages 3 to 9. The length and complexity of the text adapt to the age you tell us.
Your child's story doesn't exist yet
Creating it is free and takes minutes. Read the whole book, then decide.
