Make someone the hero of their very own book.
Design the hero yourself, piece by piece, then pick one of our stories or put their name in a personalised one. Or tell us their story and we'll write a keepsake just for them.
Find the right book
Three ways to make someone the hero: one of our own stories with characters you choose, a fully custom book, or a keepsake made from your photos and memories.

Good to know
What’s the difference between the books?
YMS Originals (from 120 AED) are our own stories, with characters you choose: you design the characters and can tweak the words. A Personalised Storybook (149 AED) is a fully custom book: add up to five cartoon characters, pick a theme and a style, and write the story page by page. A Bespoke Keepsake (from 399 AED) starts from your own photos and memories, which we turn into a one-of-a-kind book, with one round of changes before it prints.
Can I get a digital version?
Every book is printed, in a softcover or a hardcover (+60 AED). You can add a digital copy of the same book for 60 AED. There is no digital-only edition.
How long does it take?
Originals and Personalised Storybooks are delivered in up to 7 days. Bespoke Keepsakes take 10–14 working days, including a preview on WhatsApp.
How does the Bespoke Keepsake preview work?
Before we print, we send you the finished book on WhatsApp. You get one round of changes, so everything is just right before it ships.
Do I need to send photos?
Only for a Bespoke Keepsake. Send at least three, with a clear, well-lit photo of their face, and old photos are very welcome. For Originals and Personalised books, you design the characters yourself.
