This is what an Almia book looks like.
Made for Sam, a three-year-old who loves T-rex. Her photo and a handful of details were all we needed.
Start
Unlike other children’s books, Almia never uses templates. Every story is written only for one child, so they are the true hero of a book no one else will ever have. Notice how Sam in the photo and Sam in every illustration are the same child. Your child’s book will work the same way, built around their quirks and the things they love right now.
Every Almia book has more than the story.
A dedication page you can write yourself, to your child or to whoever the book is a gift for, fun facts about their world, a letter from the main character, and a colouring page. Activities that keep the story going long after bedtime.
A hardcover keepsake, made for one child.
Written and illustrated for them, and yours to preview before you pay a cent.
No charge until you approve every page.

Three things parents tell us.
Questions parents ask.
Will the illustrations actually look like my child?
Yes. Every illustration in an Almia book is drawn from the photo you upload, so your child's real hair, skin tone, and features appear on every page. Before you pay, you preview the full set of illustrations and can regenerate any scene you are not happy with. Almia is photo-led, not a template with swappable hair or skin sliders.
Is every Almia book unique, or do you use templates?
Every Almia book is unique. The story, dedication, and illustrations are created fresh for your child from their name, photo, interests, and the details you share. There are no preset templates with swappable features. No two Almia books are the same.
What happens to my child's photo after the book is made?
Your child's photo is used only to create your book and stored securely. As parents ourselves, we built Almia to give our own daughter a safe way to see the things she loves inside her own story, and we treat every other family's photos the way we treat hers. We never sell or share photos, and every upload is covered by the Australian Privacy Principles and the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Can I see the book before I pay?
Yes. Almia shows you every illustration and the full story before you check out, and you can regenerate any scene you want to change. Payment is only taken once you approve the final book. There is no charge to create and preview a story.
How long does delivery take in Australia and New Zealand?
A printed hardcover Almia book arrives within 7 to 10 business days in Australia and 10 to 14 business days in New Zealand, measured from when you approve the preview. Every hardcover is printed by a local partner and shipped tracked.
