A Story Made Just for Liam
Personalized hardcover picture books
where your child is the illustrated hero —
built around the character traits
that shape who they become.
The first books are available now. The full journey is coming soon — join the founding list to be first.
We hope this one stays on your shelf for a long time.
"The stories we tell children about themselves shape who they become. I'm building Stories With Me to put your child at the center of stories worth growing up with — each one quietly building a character trait that lasts."
— Nate, Founder

The Day [Name] Was Brave Enough
[Name] has a funny feeling in their tummy. Today is the day of the school talent show — and they're not sure they're brave enough.
This is a story about real confidence. Not the kind that comes from being told you're wonderful. The kind that comes from doing something hard anyway.
24 pages. Full color. Hardcover. Made just for them.

Frequently asked questions
How does personalization work?
You upload a photo of your child at checkout. We create a watercolor illustration that looks like them and place them as the hero on every page.
What age is this for?
Designed for children aged 3–8, though the stories resonate with younger and older children too.
How long does delivery take?
5-7 business days after your photo is approved. You'll receive a tracking number when it ships.
What if my photo isn't suitable?
We'll reach out within 24 hours if we need a better one. Best photos are well-lit, forward-facing, and recent.
Can I add a personal dedication?
Yes — at checkout you can write your own message up to 120 characters, or we use our warm default.
Can I order as a gift?
Absolutely. Enter the recipient's address at checkout. No pricing is included in the package.
What's your quality guarantee?
If you're not happy for any reason, email hello@storieswithme.com and we'll make it right.
What happens to my child's photo?
Your child's photo is used only to create their illustration. It is never shared, sold, or used to train AI models. Once your order is fulfilled and you've approved the illustration, your photo is permanently deleted from our systems — typically within 30 days of delivery.
The illustration itself is stored as part of your order record so we can reprint if needed, but your original photo is not retained beyond fulfillment. If you'd like it deleted sooner, email us at hello@storieswithme.com and we'll handle it within 48 hours.
Are more stories coming?
Yes — other character-building stories are in the works. Enter your email below to be the first to know.
