Custom Coloring Books From Your Photos

Your child, drawn from a photo as the hero of an original story, in black-and-white line art they get to color. A real printed book, not pages to print at home.

Custom coloring book made from a sibling photo: Maya & Eli and the Secret Garden, the two kids find a fairy door, with an open line-art page and crayons

Your Photo In, a Coloring Book Out

Most photo-to-coloring tools trace the picture you upload. This works differently: your child's photo becomes a character, and that character goes on an adventure across 13 illustrated pages, all drawn as clean black-and-white line art.

  • Your child drawn from their photo, in line art on every illustrated page
  • An original story written around them, with their name in it
  • Siblings, parents, or a friend can be in it too, up to 4 people
  • Clean outlines made for crayons, markers, and colored pencils
  • A printed book shipped to your door

What to Put in a Coloring Book

Kids color what they care about. Start from one of these, or describe your own:

  • A Day at Our Park: The real playground and the real slide, with your child on every page waiting for color
  • The Family Road Trip: Everyone in the car, a map to follow, and a new stop on every page
  • Their Favorite Animals: A zoo, a farm, or an ocean full of creatures to fill in
  • Rainy Day Treasure Hunt: A hunt through your own house, room by room
  • Write Your Own: Describe the adventure and who is in it

Full-color book and matching coloring book made from one photo: Ruby & Scout, The Backyard Adventure, a red-haired girl and her dog by a treehouse

Coloring Themselves In

A page of a cartoon character gets colored and forgotten. A page where the hero is them gets a closer look: what color is my hair, which shirt am I wearing, is the dog brown or black.

It also works as a pair. Get the full-color book and the coloring book of the same story, and they can read it first, then color their own version.
