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. — From the top of the dune, wind in my hair, I spot a sign: ‘Looking for two brave beach guardians!’ I grip the rough grass between my fingers. “It’s our turn to be guardians, Caramel! Count on me!” Caramel stands right beside me, yellow tennis ball between his paws, ready for our rounds.

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.

Start with familiar habits to imagine an adventure

The bond between a child and their dog can be told through specific moments: waiting by the door, bringing back a toy or following the same path in the park. Choose one habit and give the dog's name. This helps prepare an adventure that recalls their daily life rather than a story with an interchangeable dog.

Add the dog as an animal character alongside the child. Use a clear photo of the dog alone, showing its ears, muzzle and coat; avoid a hand or toy covering the head. The child has their own profile and photo. Describe the details that matter, then check the characters in the preview.

One story idea to personalise: during a walk, the dog spots ribbons from a lost kite. The child works out where they lead, and the two companions try to find its owner. The dog contributes through curiosity and the child helps solve the problem; neither is simply part of the scenery.

Then choose the mood: a gentle stroll, an exploration or a more fantastical adventure with a talking dog. Before approval, review the interactions and check the distinctive features that help you recognise your companion.

Your questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which photo should I choose for the dog?

Use a clear, well-lit photo showing the dog alone. Its head should be unobstructed; a view that also shows the body helps distinguish its shape and coat colours.

Can I create a story with a puppy?

Yes. Specify that it is a puppy and use a current photo showing its appearance. Check the preview to see whether the character matches what you want to represent.

Can the dog be the hero instead of the companion?

Yes. Choose an animal as the main character in the creator, then add the child if you wish. Explain each character's role in your story idea.

Can I add a sibling or another animal?

Yes, up to 4 characters in total. Create a separate profile and provide a photo for each, then explain how they take part in the adventure.

Can we tell the story of a real walk or a memory?

Yes. Describe the place, the event and the details to keep. Distinguish what really happened from what you want to invent, then review the story before approval.
