The book
Here’s exactly what you get
The images below show real books fresh off our presses, not mockups.
Between the trees, the cobblestones crunch under my shoes. I walk fast, nose in the air, hoping to smell strawberries. Leaves rustle, a hint of tartness in the air. Dad Nico slows down. I take a deep breath and laugh: “Does it smell… a bit like strawberries here?”
- 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 a personalized book for a 9-year-old?
At 9, children are no longer little but not yet teens. It’s an exciting in-between where curiosity soars. They’re interested in the world around them, big questions, and complex challenges. A Fabolia personalized book supports this growing maturity with stories that treat them as smart, capable heroes.
Stories for 9-year-olds explore deeper themes: self-improvement, understanding others, exploring the unknown, solving complex problems. The child-hero faces situations requiring thought, empathy, and courage. It’s reading that grows them while entertaining.
This is also the age when identity forms. The child seeks their place, strengths, and uniqueness. A personalized book is a positive mirror: it shows the child’s qualities in action within a captivating story. It’s an external affirmation, playful and natural.
9-year-olds enjoy stories about quests, science fiction, mystery, and adventure. 3D animation and cartoon illustration styles are most popular at this age. Starting at €14.90 for the PDF. The softcover (€29.90) is the preferred format for pre-teens. The deluxe edition (€39.90) is a premium gift for special occasions.
