The keepsake
A real book, with their name on the cover.
Every Hekaya is printed and bound as a storybook — hardcover or softcover, your choice — the kind that lives on a bedside table, gets read at bedtime, and is still on the shelf years later.
Their name on the cover
The title, the hero, the whole story — built around your child.
Illustrated throughout
Warm, full-colour artwork on every spread, in one consistent style.
Hardcover or softcover
Both made to survive bedtime, over and over again.
How it works

It takes a few minutes. The book lasts a lot longer than that.

Character creation
They stay themselves, all the way through.

- A character drawn from their photo
- The same hero on every spread
- Family and pets can join them
