Flickwick Make a book

A book that stars
your child

A custom picture book with them and the people they love in it, on every page. You pick the world, guide the story and its lesson, and approve every picture.

The story is free. Picture books $3.99 each. Print from $34.

Read it tonight. Keep the real thing.

Every finished book opens on a screen the moment it is done. The printed one is the copy they grow up with.

On a screen, tonight.

Turn the pages on a phone, a tablet or a laptop. Send grandparents a private link, and switch it off whenever you like.

A real book, on their shelf.

Printed 8.3 inches square (21 cm) on heavy gloss paper, paperback or hardcover, shipped in the US — 8–11 business days all told on standard shipping. The kind of book that gets read until the corners go soft.

Not a name dropped into a template.

Them, on every page.

Your child is the hero, drawn from their photo, the same face from the first spread to the last.

Their people too.

Mom, Dad, Grandma, the dog, a best friend. Up to three more, each with a look you approve.

Your hand on the story.

Pick the world and the lesson, then tell us what matters this year: a new baby brother, the color orange, Grandma's lake house.

One photo. One drawing.
Then, them on every page.

Your photo.
Gone the moment you approve.
We never run face recognition. Nothing is kept.

Next time, a sequel.

The same cast, looking exactly as they did, picking up where the story left off. Their life moves on and the books keep up.
