The book
Here’s exactly what you get

I look at the flour, eggs, milk. It smells like vanilla. Mom Sarah whispers: “We’re missing the cocoa!”
- Illustrations span both pages: the image crosses the fold, not framed.

- 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 does a personalized book bring tears of joy?
Some gifts bring happiness, but others stir that lump in the throat, those shining eyes, unexpected tears. A Fabolia personalized book belongs to this rare category. When a parent opens a book and sees their child as the hero of a beautiful story, or a grandparent discovers their grandchildren in a magical tale—the emotion is overwhelming.
The reason is simple: this gift touches what we hold most dear—our loved ones, our memories, our story. By turning these into a beautiful illustrated book, Fabolia crystallizes love into a tangible object. Each page is a proof of affection, each illustration a sign of care. It’s this collection of personal details that sparks the emotion.
The most intense moments? Discovering the cover with the name and photo. The first page where the child recognizes themselves. The personal dedication read aloud. And the last page where the story ends and you realize this book was made with love, just for you. Tissues recommended.
To maximize emotion, choose the watercolor style (the most poetic), the Tenderness tone, and add a heartfelt dedication. Starting at €14.90 for the PDF. The deluxe hardcover edition (€39.90) is the most touching format: a beautiful keepsake passed down through generations.
