The book
Here’s exactly what you get
The images below show real books fresh off our presses, not mockups.
My heart beats fast. The carousel horses turn just there, under the glowing bulbs. Grandpa Georges walks beside me on the gravel. “Look how it shines, Capucine!” he breathes. I want to catch the galloping horse.
- Illustrations span both pages: the image crosses the fold, not framed.
- The printed album is portrait format, 21 × 28 cm, with 32 interior pages. The PDF version has 13 illustrated pages.
- The PDF is downloadable once you’ve approved everything; then the book goes to print.
You’re in control
You approve each page. Only then do we print.
No surprises when your package arrives: you review the story, see every illustration, and request corrections as many times as needed.
You review the story
The full story is sent to you before any illustrations. A misspelled name, a passage to change? We rewrite it.
You see every illustration
All illustrated pages, one by one. A face that doesn’t match, an outfit that’s different? We regenerate the affected page.
We print once it’s perfect
Your approval triggers printing. The book goes to the printer exactly as you approved it.
Why is a personalized book the most beautiful childhood memory?
Childhood memories are made of little things: a scent, a song, a book read a thousand times. A Fabolia personalized book has the power to become that foundational memory. Years later, rediscovering it on a shelf, the adult will relive the magic of childhood: their name on the cover, their childhood face in the illustrations, that story that belonged only to them.
The sentimental value of a personalized book only grows over time. A toy breaks and gets thrown away. Clothes go out of style and disappear. But a book is stored, rediscovered, shown to one’s own children one day. It’s an investment in future memories, a gift that gains value over decades.
For parents, it’s also a time capsule. This book captures a precise moment: the child’s age, their face at the time, their tastes back then. Reading this book years later is to find your child as they were, with a nostalgic tenderness impossible to recreate otherwise.
Choose the hardcover version (€39.90) for a keepsake that stands the test of time and repeated readings. Thick paper and sturdy binding ensure this memory lasts for years. Also available in softcover (€29.90) or PDF (€14.90) for a digital keepsake to treasure.
