A story to share this Christmas
01
For a child who loves dinosaurs, choose a jungle rescue. For a would-be superhero, choose a secret mission. The Great Treasure Hunt visits Santa's snowy village as part of a wider adventure — it is not a standalone Christmas story.
02
Use their real name and a clear photo. Add family members as co-stars and a personal dedication. A grandparent, godparent or parent can make the book, while the child remains the hero.
03
Every book is digital for now: there is no physical book or postal delivery included. Read it together online, print the home-print PDF yourself, or take the print-shop PDF to a printer of your choice.
