One of our bestselling books, famous for its ability to bring parents around the world to tears. We’re revealing all the details about the creation of the book, from its initial inspiration to the final product.
Children have a special superpower. They bring the most genuine and deepest feelings out of us that are almost impossible to describe. Well, almost. We believed there was a way, and we took it as a challenge.
Life is a journey, and it’s quite a ride
with many roles to be played, many parts to be tried
The concept itself was clear: to create a testament to children’s futures and parents’ love.
For the first time, we decided against any plot structure or storytelling pattern. Simply the feelings, dreams, and aspirations that evolve in their own unique way in children’s imaginations and parents’ hearts.
The book was conceived as a way to grasp that beautiful sentiment, one that both children and adults hold on to for years to come.
The masterminds behind the project! A talented illustrator and acclaimed songwriter-turned-writer were picked out by the sharp eye of two young, multi-talented businessmen. A friendly bond soon developed, one idea led to another, and the miracle began its course.
It’s sooo nice to daydream about what your little one will become when they’ll grow up. What will the future hold? Will he be a ballerino, will she be the President, but most importantly … will they grow up to be a good person you will be immensely proud of, someone who knows how to love, and people will love in return? Your little one already has your unconditional love, and, of course, you want your cutie pie to know that. Our Grows Up book is a great testament to a parent’s love and a reminder that he or she will always have a safe harbor to find shelter at home with their parents
There are endless possibilities of how an individual can look. Hairstyle, hair color, eye color and shape, skin tone, freckles, no freckles, glasses, etc. But we’re bold and absolutely love challenges. With an amazing design team, illustrator, and of course with the help of our loyal customers as well, we configured our personalization criteria so as to arrive at more than 5 billion appearance options.
Since our first book, we’ve striven to provide a place in our magical world for kids from all across the globe.
The working collaboration between author and iIllustrator was organic and effortless. The two-way flow of inspiration helped shape the first drafts and sketches that eventually evolved into our well thought-out masterpiece. Our creative team even added some extra value to the book: you can find hidden gems in illustrations every time you crack its spine. The text is equally as rich, but we’ll let it speak for itself.

Every child is unique, right? Some dream of saving the world, some like to bake cookies. Some are a bit naughty, some are a bit nice. To give this book an additional level of personalization and a distinctly personal touch, we decided to make a variety of stories that resonate with every parent and child. The whole process of creating a book becomes even more emotional and intimate.
Our “Grows Up” book evolved with our readers. We listened carefully to their wishes and created content taken directly from their suggestions, like braided hairstyles or a ballet dancer role. What is special about this book is that it will always grow with us as we’re already considering new story suggestions and personalization options as we speak.
As our books make the perfect gift, we decided to create matching gift boxes. With breathtaking illustrations and numerous options for different occasions, it’s so much more than just a gift box. It doubles as a board game or a super fun-memory game with our characters. Did someone say family bonding time? We’ve got it covered. It’s one of our top priorities.
A gift isn’t complete without a gift box!
“When Tonya Grows Up” soon became our bestselling book after its release. And we couldn’t have done it without our loyal customers and their honest feedback. Your tears of joy are our biggest reward. Thank you for sharing these intimate moments with us.
