Original Father's Day gift: a book telling what he passed on to you
The tie and the bottle will do, but they say nothing. For Father's Day, a personalized illustrated book tells your memories with him: Sundays in the garage, car rides, a shared passion. The two heroes are a father and his child, adult or not, drawn from two photos.

A gift that says what went unsaid
Fathers are often the ones we say the least to: a quick "thanks", a Sunday call. A book that tells your moments with him says it in full, in scenes: the bike without training wheels, the questions he always answered, the day he was there without a word.
Your two faces are drawn from two photos, and a story is written from your memories. It isn't a photo album, nor a book where a name is swapped.
What to tell: passing on, childhood, passions
- ✦ Childhood memories: the drives, the Sundays, the holidays, the homework.
- ✦ What he taught you: tinkering, swimming, driving, keeping your word.
- ✦ A shared passion: the game, the garage, fishing, the garden, music.
- ✦ A time he was there: an exam, a move, a hard day.
- ✦ A sentence of his: the one he repeats, that the whole family knows.

How to prepare the book, step by step
- Choose the style. The free preview shows the duo drawn before you order.
- Add two photos: one of him, one of you, faces sharp and front-facing.
- Tell the story. A questionnaire guides you: where, when, what makes you laugh, the moments to keep. Ten to fifteen minutes is enough.
- Review. You have 48 hours to read the book and ask for changes. Nothing is printed without your approval.
The book always keeps two heroes; other people are mentioned in the story, with their names and running gags.
