Dungarees, a plaid shirt and straw in the cuffs. Three friendly crows perch along the hat brim like a crown. One red apple saved to share, a trail of straw to find the way back, and a lost little sheep led safely home to her lamb.

Good for: Ages 2 to 6. Cozy, not scary. For autumn nights.

Cover

In your book, your child is on every page, with their own name.

What happens in this book?

Your child is the hero from the first page to the last. Their real face in every picture, their name in every rhyme. Page one is your dedication, in your own words and signed with your name. A hidden friend hides on every page for the second read.

Can I see a free preview?

Yes. Add one photo and their name and you see real pages with their face in about a minute. Nothing to pay until you have seen it and chosen softcover or hardcover.

Is the photo safe?

The photo is used for one thing: making this book. Your photo is deleted automatically 24 hours after you order — preview or book — and we never sell or share it. Read our photo policy.

Shipping and delivery

Printed in your own region, so no customs and no waiting on a boat. Most books arrive within a week. Gift dates and cut-offs are on our delivery page.

Format and quality

Square, 20 by 20 cm (8 by 8 inches), 30 pages inside. Softcover or thick hardcover, matte paper that survives sticky fingers. A real person checks every book before it prints, and you have 24 hours after ordering to change a name, a spelling or the dedication.

Will it arrive in one piece?

It ships in a rigid book-wrap box: stiff card cut to the exact size of the book and folded tight around it, so nothing slides and the corners are covered. Not a padded envelope — corners are where books get damaged in transit, and that is what the box is built around.

If one ever turns up damaged, send a photo. We reprint and ship a new one free, and you keep the damaged copy.

    “What I check first is the wobbly page: is the scared moment named, is the child allowed to feel it, and is there a small step and a second try? Here at Dot and Moon, yes.”

Made for one child

Everything you can make your own

  • Their real face, from one photo

    Not a hairstyle from a menu. The child in your photo, drawn as they are: their curls, their glasses, the hijab, the hearing aid, the little knot in their hair, the gap where a tooth used to be.

  • Their name in every rhyme

    The name you type is woven into the verses, so the story reads like it is written for them. Because it is.

  • Write a dedication

    Your own words on the first page, signed the way they call you: Oma en Opa, Nana and Grandad, Mom and Dad.

  • Choose softcover or hardcover

    Square, 20 by 20 cm (8 by 8 inches), 30 pages. Thick matte paper that survives sticky fingers.

  • See every page before it prints

    The preview is free. Change a name, a spelling or the dedication for 24 hours after ordering.

  • A hidden friend on every page

    A ladybug, a star, a tiny snail. The second read is a treasure hunt.

  • Each one gets their own story

    Two grandchildren, two books. Add the second one in the same order, with their own face and name.

  • Printed near you

    No customs, no waiting on a boat. On its way in about a week.

The Dotje Book Club

Written for the age they are now

Pick an age. Every book is written for where they are, with their own face in it.

Age 1

They start to know their face

At 18 months, they spot themselves

Age 2

Me, mine, I did it

Their first word for themselves: me

Age 3

The hero of the story

A story about me sticks best

Age 4

Big feelings, named

Naming a feeling makes it smaller

Age 5

Their name in letters

Their own name is word one

Age 6

Who they are becoming

A hero who looks like me
