A practice page A page where they learn to write their own name

Which book?

Questions
What does it cost, and what about shipping?
One price in every country, with shipping included: there is nothing to add at checkout, and Etsy shows the price in your own currency. One order line is one child and one book. For two children, or for both books, add each to the basket.
Can it be returned?
It is made to order with your child’s name in it, so it cannot be returned or exchanged, unless it arrives damaged or with a mistake that is ours. Then we print it again, or refund you. The proof is there so that a wrong spelling is caught before anything is printed: the name prints exactly as typed.
Are the pictures made with AI?
The pictures in the books start in an image generation tool and are then checked and corrected by us, one by one, as in every book we publish. The letters, arrows and tracing lines are set from a typeface, not generated. The child you choose is drawn in the same style on every page they appear on.
A question before you order?
Write to us and a person answers, usually within a day: which book suits your child, whether a name with an accent prints, what a look is called.
