The birthday book starring them

  • A keepsake that outlasts the wrapping paper
  • One photo makes your birthday star the hero
  • Order printed books at least 3 weeks ahead

Little Legends makes a personalized birthday book for kids: one photo makes your child the illustrated hero, as a printed book or Instant Print Kit.

A birthday book they keep

  • They're the star

    Their face and their name, on the one day that is all about them.

  • A story for the big day

    Big-day excitement and sharing the fun, with your child at the center.

  • The keepsake that outlasts the wrapping paper

    Toys break and cake disappears. The book comes off the shelf every year.

How It Works

  1. Create Characters

    Create your characters by uploading photos or describing them.

    A family selfie of two parents and their daughter, the kind of photo you upload to create your characters
  2. Customize Story

    Write your own story idea or pick one from our library. Edit the text and images before you order.

    The story library open on the "Big Feelings" collection, listing titles such as "Finding My Calm" and "Waiting My Turn"
  3. Get Your Book

    Order a printed copy delivered to your doorstep.

Frequently asked questions

Will it arrive before the birthday?

Printed books take about two weeks including delivery, so order about three weeks ahead to be safe. Running late? The Instant Print Kit gives you the same book as a printable the moment it's ready.

How does the personalization work?

You upload one photo. We illustrate your child as the main character of the story. You pick the story and the art style.

Can I add a birthday message?

Yes — add a personal note and it's printed inside the book, right where they'll see it every time they read.

Does it work for any age?

Yes. The birthday stories fit any birthday, from turning three to turning seven.
