Why this is the perfect gift
More lasting than a novelty
Instead of another gadget or pair of socks, this personalised Dad and child book becomes a nightly ritual – your little one snuggled on Daddy’s chest, listening to a story that’s all about them.
Perfect for meaningful occasions
Ideal as a Father’s Day gift from baby or child, a birthday present for Dad, a new‑dad keepsake or a “just because” surprise to say “thank you for being you”. The story captures the everyday magic of fatherhood in a way that feels playful, sentimental and beautifully made.
Simple to create, easy to give
Personalise both characters, add names and a short dedication in just a few minutes. When the book arrives, all that’s left is to curl up and read – your child will love spotting themselves and Daddy as chipmunk, dolphin, panda and more.
What is this personalised Dad and child book?
This is a personalised Dad and child story where your little one tells the tale. It begins, “This is my daddy and this is me… I’m just a baby, but as you will see,” and then wonders what would happen if Daddy became all kinds of animals – even “with an extra limb”. From that first bedtime cuddle to the final promise that they’ll always be “me and Daddy”, the book celebrates how safe, silly and loved your child feels with their dad.
How you personalise this book
- Child’s name — appears in the story as the baby or child telling the tale.
- Daddy’s name — 'Dad', 'Dada', 'Daddy'-printed on the cover and woven naturally into the rhyme.
- Child’s appearance — choose hair, skin tone and other small details so they feel like your little one.
- Dad’s character — personalise his hair, skin tone, beard and style to look like the dad in your life.
- Dedication message — add a heartfelt note from your child (and co‑parent) on the first page, ready for Daddy to read.
- Book cover - choose your preferred cover colour at no extra cost
- Pages: 30 interior pages
- Dimensions: 21 × 21 cm — a perfect size made for little hands and cosy laps.
- Care: Built to last a lifetime of bedtimes. Both the cover and interior pages have a matte coating and can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Sustainability: We care about the world your child is growing up in. Every Papier Tales book is printed locally using non-toxic eco-inks, sustainably sourced paper, and solar-powered facilities — arriving at your door in recyclable packaging.
