There’s something special, even magical about the printed page. The Internet makes anyone a publisher, but seeing yourself in print is a whole ‘nother story.

But that’s just one of the many reasons why we adore flattenme’s custom photo children’s books.

Flattenme’s storybooks are full-color and have a thick, hard cover just like the kind you’d find at the bookstore or the library.

Except these books feature your kid (or niece or nephew or 8-year-old version of your pal.) Just send them a photo (online or by mail), your child’s name, and a dedication message, and they do the rest — creating a personalized storybook where your kid’s the star.

The result is stunning and endearing. The storyline is fun, and their magical elves do a topnotch job working with any skin color or hairtype. It’s a gift that would make any youngster smile.

Flattenme — Personalized Children’s Storybooks
Books cost $33 + shipping. They ship to the U.S. and Canada but will do their best to accommodate other destinations if you email them.
