Quality You Can Feel
Thick, matte-finish pages. Archival-grade inks. Hardcover binding that survives bedtime, snacks, and grubby little hands. We use the same printers trusted by children's publishers worldwide.
Our Story
Built by parents, for parents — making every child the hero of their own story.
My Story started around a kitchen table in 2019, when two parents couldn't find a bedtime book that truly felt like their child. We set out to build something better: personalised hardcover storybooks, sticker packs, and printed t-shirts that celebrate every family's tiny main character. Today we ship to 25 countries and we still read every thank-you message.
What We Stand For
Three promises we make to every family we work with
Illustrated with Heart
Our in-house illustrators hand-draw every character, outfit and scene. No stock clipart. Every design is reviewed by a real parent on our team before it ships to yours.
A Family Business
We're a small, remote team of parents, illustrators and story lovers. When you email us, a real human replies — usually the same person who reviewed your order.
