Personalized Christmas Storybook
Their photo. Their cover.
We drew this cover from one phone photo of Rocco, our founder's dog.

 Cover |
Our team checks every book against your photo and the cover you saw before it goes to print. If a picture looks off, we draw it again.
Our likeness promise. You see your pet's cover before you pay, and every page is drawn from the same photo. After you order, you see all 24 pages free before we print, and changes are free. It's a storybook painting, not a photo, so small details like the exact shape of a marking can differ. If something doesn't look like your pet, tell us on your proof and we redraw it free.

The story
The best Christmas ever, told by the one who planned it.
On a snowy night in December, your pet decides to give the family the best Christmas ever. There's a tree to help with (one shiny bauble, carried very carefully), snow to inspect, presents to "wrap" by sitting on the paper, and a stocking at the end of the row with their very own name on it.
Read the whole story
On Christmas Eve, when everyone else is asleep, your pet hears a jingle on the roof. Out of the chimney steps Santa, who has heard all about them. With no present to give, your pet gives the only thing they have: a great big welcome. Santa says it's the best present he's had all night, and slips something small into the little stocking before he goes. In the morning, the whole family comes running down the stairs, and your pet is waiting at the bottom, full of news.
Questions
Is it a religious Christmas story?
No. It's a cozy, family Christmas: a tree, snow, stockings, presents and a visit from Santa. There's no nativity.
Dog or cat?
Both. Pick dog or cat when you see the cover, and the story's words change to fit (a cat purrs and watches the snow from the windowsill).
How far ahead should I order for Christmas?
Order the hardcover by Sunday, December 6 for US delivery before Christmas. Each book is made to order: 2 to 5 business days to make, then 3 to 4 days to ship. The PDF is available until December 22.
What do I get for $49.99?
A 24-page, 11 x 8.5 in landscape hardcover with your pet on every page, their name on the cover, your family's name in the story and your dedication at the front. US shipping is free. With any portrait it's $34.99.
Can I see more than the cover first?
Yes. You see the cover free before you pay. After you order, we email you every page, usually within 10 minutes, and nothing prints until you approve it. Changes are free.
What makes a good photo?
One pet, facing the camera, in good light. Daylight near a window is best. Skip dark photos and photos with two pets. A normal phone photo is fine.
Is the art made with AI?
Yes. We draw the pictures with AI from the photo you send, and our team checks every book before it prints. They are not hand-painted.
What happens to my photo?
We use it only to make and deliver your book, and we delete it 90 days after your book is delivered. We never use your photo or your book in ads, on our website or on social media unless you give us separate permission. Want it gone sooner? Email support@hearthsideportraits.com.
