What's the story?

Not sure? Pick “something else”.

how it unfolds

Five pictures. That's the whole process.

  1. A woman with a cup of tea choosing between illustrated picture cards on her kitchen table.
    Step 1: You choosePick picture cards: what kind of story, who's in it, how it should feel.
  2. Hands placing old photographs, a voice recorder and a note into a wooden box; one photo has a small padlock tag.
    Step 2: You shareAdd photos, a voice note or a few words. Lock anything private.
  3. An illustrator painting a picture-book page at a sunlit desk, reference photos pinned above, a terrier asleep below.
    Step 3: Amy makes itAmy writes and paints every page, and asks if anything is unclear.
  4. A grandmother and a child reading an illustrated book on a tablet; a heart-shaped note sits on one page.
    Step 4: You read it allTurn every page first. Leave a note on any page you'd like changed.
  5. A parcel tied with twine and a wax seal on a cottage doorstep, a storybook resting in tissue paper beside it.
    Step 5: It arrivesPrinted only once you say yes — then wrapped and posted to your door.
