A personalized under-the-sea book starring your child

In the under-the-sea world your child dives into a story among coral reefs, kind sea creatures and hidden treasures. It is written for your child's name, age and favorite things and illustrated with a hero who looks like them, with the cover and first page free to preview.

What happens in an under-the-sea story

Each story is new. Ocean adventures often start with a sea creature who needs help: a lost crown, a whale who has forgotten her song, a reef getting ready for a party. Your child swims to the rescue, makes friends with fish, crabs or a mermaid, and comes back up into the sunlight as the hero.

What you personalize

  • First name and age, which sets how much text is on each page.
  • Look: skin tone, hair color, hairstyle and glasses.
  • A few favorite things: mermaids, dolphins, a favorite toy.
  • A dedication on its own page.
  • The book's language: English, German, French, Spanish or Hebrew.

Who it suits

Children aged 2 to 9 who love the beach, the bath, fish and mermaids. The bright, soft colors of the sea make it a favorite for toddlers, and older children enjoy the treasure hunts.

The full book is $2.99 as a PDF, or you can ask for a printed hardcover. A great birthday gift, too.
