The book

Here’s exactly what you get

The images below show real books fresh off our presses, not mockups.

Illustrated double-page spread of a personalized Fabolia book. — Lying in my sleeping bag, I listen to Dad Julien opening the strange box. The air is warm, the tent’s light soft. I feel good, ready for the secret tic-tic mission.

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

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.

Why is a personalized book the most original gift?

Let’s be honest: finding an original gift for a child is a challenge. Toys all look alike, clothes quickly go out of style, and video games feel impersonal. A Fabolia personalized book is radically different: a one-of-a-kind item made just for that child, impossible to find in stores. Pure originality.

Originality goes far beyond just personalizing the name. Our AI generates a full story — plot, dialogues, situations — tailored to the child’s profile. Illustrations are custom-made with their photo, in the artistic style you choose. The result: a book that exists in only one copy worldwide.

It’s the gift that steals the show at birthdays and celebrations. When the child opens the package and sees their own photo on the cover of a real book — the effect is guaranteed. Parents are impressed, other kids are jealous (in a good way), and the birthday hero feels truly special.

An original gift doesn’t have to be expensive. From €14.90 as a PDF, you offer a truly standout present. The softcover printed version (€29.90) or deluxe edition (€39.90) add the joy of a physical object. Set up in 5 minutes, then approved by you page by page — originality without the stress.

Your questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this more original than a classic personalized book?

At Fabolia, it’s not just the name that changes: the entire story is AI-generated to be unique. Illustrations are created with the child’s photo. No other book in the world will be the same.

Will the child really enjoy this gift?

Kids love seeing themselves as heroes! Recognizing themselves in the illustrations, reading their name on every page — it’s a magical experience that captivates them. It’s the kind of gift you keep and bring out years later.

It's original but is it lasting?

Unlike toys that break or lose appeal, a book can be reread for years. It becomes a precious childhood keepsake. The perfect blend of originality and durability.

How to surprise if the child already knows personalized books?

Every Fabolia book is unique! Even a child who has received a personalized book before will be surprised by a new story, new illustrations, a new theme. The surprise never fades.

Can this original gift be given to a child you don’t know well?

That’s exactly the advantage! Just the first name, age, and a photo are enough. No need to know their exact tastes. The story adapts automatically. It’s the perfect original gift for children you rarely see.
