A personalised birthday book with them
as the hero.
The birthday child becomes the main character: their name in the story and, on the Look Like Me tier, their face on the page, illustrated from your photos. A hardcover keepsake for a first birthday or any birthday after it, from S$39.
What makes a personalised birthday book worth giving?
Two very different products get sold as a personalised birthday book. A name swap drops the child's name into a pre-printed story. An illustrated likeness draws the main character from the child's own photos, so they recognise themselves on the page. The second is the one that gets pulled off the shelf again after the party.
StoryStars makes both, so you can choose: a name-and-gender story for a simple gift, or a look-alike character when seeing themselves is the point. For the longer comparison, including when another shop is the better buy, read our guide to choosing a personalised birthday book.
Books that suit a birthday.
Each one becomes the birthday child's own story once their name, and if you like, their likeness, goes in.
A Name Made with Wonder
Animals carry each letter of the child's name home, one by one. A keepsake first book that works before they can read.
Your Child and the Colorful Inside
The birthday child stars in a story about understanding their emotions and putting them into words.
Your Child's Bravery Switch
A bedtime story that gives them a courage tool of their own: press, breathe, feel the spark.
