Why families choose a personalised baby book

Photo albums capture faces. A personalised baby book tells the story — the announcement, the name, the first night home, and the small rituals only your family knows. the Chapter Co. hand-illustrates your real photos into a custom first-year storybook you will read on birthdays for decades.

Whether it is a newborn gift, a first birthday present, or a keepsake for grandparents, every page is drawn and written from scratch around your child.

What goes into a Baby's First Year book

You decide the chapters. We help shape them into a gentle narrative with hand-painted characters that look like your family.

  • Pregnancy announcement, naming, and homecoming moments
  • First smile, first laugh, and first solid foods
  • Milestones — sitting, crawling, first steps
  • Favourite people, pets, and lullabies
  • A dedication page for parents or grandparents

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.
