Start reflecting on your birth and writing your story for your child. This can sometimes be difficult to do depending on how you felt about your birth experience. Check out our blog on writing your birth story, or browse our library of writing prompts if you need some support or inspiration.
Select your photos you'd like to use for your book. Make sure your photos are high resolution for best print quality. Most photos from modern phones will be this quality by default. You can add as many or as little photos as you like throughout your book.
Add text boxes and upload photos to the pages as you make your way through designing your book. You can change the background colour and fonts to suit your style. Browse through our illustrations library for anything you might not have a photo of to compliment your storytelling.
Make sure you double-check the preview pages for photo quality and any spelling or grammatical errors. Once you're happy with how your birth storybook looks you can approve the design and purchase your book.
After you order your book, we will get to work printing and compiling your book - by hand, with love. Our books are made to be well-loved by your kids. They are sturdy yet flexible, and solid, and have a safe design to hold your stories for you. Storytelling is such a beautiful art.
