Questions families ask
Do you need a photo?
No. You describe your child with simple choices — skin tone, hair, glasses — and we paint an illustrated character. We never ask you to upload a child's photo, and we don't store one.
What do you do with a child's information?
We store the first name, age, pronoun, appearance choices, and the note you write, plus the buyer email. It is used to make the book and send it. You can ask us to delete it from the contact page.
How do refunds work?
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee. Refunds are issued from the Polar dashboard. Write to us and we will take care of it. There is no separate subscription to cancel.
How is the book delivered?
After checkout we finish the illustrations. You get a flipbook in the browser, a PDF sized for an 8.5 inch square, a private share link, and an email with those links.
Can I order a printed hardcover?
A printed edition is not available yet. The PDF is laid out so a print shop can make one. We will say so here when a hardcover option exists.
Notes from families
Real notes from families will live here once we have permission to share them. We don't publish placeholder reviews, star ratings, or made-up counts.
