A custom children's book, down to the last page
Custom story, custom pictures, custom everything — built around one child and editable until it's exactly right. Then keep it digital or print a keepsake edition.
How your custom book comes together
Custom characters
Your child, their family, their pets — described or photographed, then illustrated consistently across the whole book.
Custom story
Pick a tailored story pitch or bring your own idea; set the age range and length that suit your reader.
Custom details
Fine-tune any page in the editor — swap outfits, change scenes, adjust the text until it reads just right.
Custom finish
Choose digital, softcover or premium hardcover. Add a dedication page to make the gift complete.
What "custom" means at Scribbin
Not a template
The story is generated fresh for your child, not their name pasted into a stock plot. Every book is genuinely one of one.
Custom illustrations throughout
Characters, places and treasured objects stay visually consistent page after page — like a real picture book, because it is one.
Your edits, instantly
Regenerate any picture with your own directions, or rewrite any line. The book isn't final until you say so.
Keepsake quality
Professionally printed editions on quality paper stock, shipped worldwide.
Storytime, anywhere
Every book you make can be read in the free Scribbin reader app for iPhone, iPad and Android — with warm narration and read-along word highlighting for early readers.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from other custom book sites?+
Most sites customise a pre-written template with a name and hair colour. Scribbin generates the entire story and all the artwork specifically for your child, and then lets you edit every page.
Can I see the book before paying for printing?+
Yes — you create and read the complete book digitally first. Printing is a separate optional step, priced at checkout, so you only print when you love it.
How long until the printed book arrives?+
Production takes 3–5 business days plus shipping — from a few days express to 1–2 weeks for budget options, depending on where you are.
What does a custom book cost?+
Creating is token-based: illustrations cost 5 Story Tokens each and a typical book uses about 45 tokens — covered by the £5 Starter Pack, and new accounts start with 20 free tokens. Printed copies are priced separately by format.
Can I include more than one child?+
Yes — add as many characters as the story needs: siblings, cousins, friends, grandparents. Great for shared adventures and fair bedtimes.
