A custom illustrated book beats generic gifts

Father's Day gift guides fill up with gadgets and ties. A personalised illustrated book is different: it puts your shared memories — cricket in the park, bedtime stories, road trips — on the page as art, with words written only for him.

the Chapter Co. creates Papa & Me and Mumma & Me keepsake books that work for Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays, or 'just because'.

Ideas families put in a parent-and-child book

Bring the moments that make you both smile. We turn them into illustrated spreads with custom text.

  • Nickname pages and 'you are our superhero' dedications
  • Favourite weekend rituals and bedtime habits
  • Trips, temples, or cities you explored together
  • How they became a parent — told for the child to read later
  • A closing page the kids can sign or add a handprint photo to inspire

Order in time for Father's Day

Custom illustration takes planning. Start a chat with your gift date, photos, and the tone you want — funny, tender, or both. You approve the draft before anything is printed, then we ship the finished book across India.

Common questions

Before you order

Straight answers about personalised illustrated books, timelines, and how ordering works in India.

What is a personalised illustrated keepsake book?

A personalised illustrated keepsake book is a custom printed storybook made from your real photos and memories. At the Chapter Co., artists hand-illustrate your family as characters, write a story around your moments, and print a bound book you can gift and reread for years.

How does ordering a custom book work?

Share your photos, names, and the moments that matter over WhatsApp. We illustrate the full story, send you a digital draft to approve, refine any edits, then print and ship the finished keepsake book to your door.

How long does a custom illustrated book take?

Most books take a few weeks from your first chat to delivery, depending on story length, illustration detail, and how quickly photos and feedback arrive. Tell us your gift date when you enquire so we can plan around it.

What occasions are your personalised books for?

We make books for baby's first year, parent-and-child stories, travel adventures, grandparents' legacy, anniversaries and love stories, Father's Day, Mother's Day, birthdays, and other milestones. Every book is written and drawn from scratch for your family.
