Make your child the hero of their own storybook.

A personalized story book is a children's book in which your own child is the main character - their first name is written into the text and their face is illustrated into the artwork on every page. A KuttyStory book is a 24-28 page picture book built this way from one photo and a few details, so the child recognises themselves as the hero rather than reading about a stranger.

You give us your child's first name, age and a photo. Our illustration studio weaves them into a professionally written story so your child stars on every page - name in the text, likeness in the artwork, and a character look you choose. The whole thing takes about a minute, and you see the result before you pay anything.

Yes. You get the front cover and the first 5 pages instantly, with no signup and no payment. You only pay when you decide to unlock the full book as a PDF or order a printed copy, so you always know exactly what you are buying.

KuttyStory books start at Rs. 749 for the instant PDF and Rs. 1,299 for the premium printed hardcover, with free delivery anywhere in India. Prices vary a little by title and page count, and 2 or more books get 20% off with the code STORY20. Payment is in Indian Rupees through Razorpay - UPI, credit card, debit card or net banking.

KuttyStory titles are written for children aged 1 to 8. Each book lists its own range - bedtime titles start at age 1, alphabet and counting books suit ages 2-6, and the adventure titles read best from 4-8. Choose by the age label on the story, not by reading level, because a parent reads these aloud.

One clear, well-lit, front-facing photo of your child's face works best - eyes open, no sunglasses, no hat shading the face, and nobody else in the frame. A plain phone photo taken near a window is ideal. Blurry, dark or side-profile photos are the single most common reason a preview looks off, and you can simply re-upload and regenerate for free if it does.

Yes. Photos you upload are used for one purpose only - illustrating your book. They are never sold, never shared with advertisers and never used to market to you. They are deleted once your order is complete and the reprint window has closed, and if you want them removed sooner we will delete them within 7 days of your emailing us. Card and banking details go straight to Razorpay and never touch KuttyStory servers.

Printed hardcovers are made to order and take 4-7 days to produce, then ship free anywhere in India. Delivery time after that depends on the destination state - typically 2-7 days. The instant PDF is different: it is available for download within minutes of payment, which is why it is the usual choice for a gift needed the same week.

Yes. A personalized storybook is one of the few return gifts a child keeps, and each one is made for the specific child receiving it. Order 2 or more books and the code STORY20 takes 20% off. For a party-sized batch, message us on WhatsApp with the number of books and the date you need them by, and we will confirm the timeline before you order.

Not yet. Every KuttyStory title is currently written in English. Tamil editions are in the works - the brand name itself comes from the Tamil word kutty, meaning little one - and the story pages will show a Tamil badge as soon as a title is available in it.

Because you approve the full preview before paying, surprises are rare. If a printed copy arrives damaged, misprinted or materially different from the preview you approved, contact us within 7 days of delivery with photographs and we will reprint or refund it at no cost.
