For the night they turn one year bigger

Birthday

One more candle, one more year of being exactly who they are.

A birthday told from the morning to the last light: a surprise hidden in the house, friends and a cake with the right number of candles, and one quiet wish made at bedtime.

What is inside

Eight illustrated spreads, written for one child. Eight pages of story, read aloud in about four minutes.

The six questions take about two minutes. Only the name and age are needed; the rest can be skipped.

If it isn't right, we write it again once, free — or you get a full refund.

Three spreads from another child’s book

Each book is drawn and written for one child alone, so this one will not be yours. Yours opens with your child’s name on the cover, and the Preview shows it before anything is paid.

A child in pajamas follows a trail of golden paper stars along the hallway and up the stairs to a wrapped gift in the morning light — The first star was taped by the bedroom door. The second was by the stairs.

A child in a paper crown stands at a garden table under string lights as family and friends sing around a candlelit cake — Everyone who loved them, one song, and the right number of candles.

A child asleep in bed hugging a toy fox, a paper crown on the bedpost and a candle nightlight glowing beside an open window of stars — One wish, kept secret. The stars kept it too.
