Questions
Can I get a personalized book with the name Josephine?
Yes. Every Starlit Kid story can be made for Josephine: the name is written into the story text and onto the cover, and your child is drawn on every page from a photo you upload. The cover and two pages are a free preview.
What if we spell Josephine differently?
You type the name yourself when you make the book, so any spelling works, including accents like é or ñ. These pages just show how the stories read with this spelling.
How much is it and how do I get it?
The whole book is $14.99. You get it as a print-ready PDF the same day and print it at home, at a print shop or as a hardcover. We don’t print or ship.
