One year. One book. Before you forget.

The storybook about your child's year you never have to write.

We turn your memories into a written story and complete it with your photos. Delivered as a printed hardcover book you will read years from now with a smile.

Just your memories and your photos. We do the writing, printing, and shipping.
About 15 minutes of your time.

You don't write a word

You reflect on the year through a few simple prompts. We turn your answers into a written story. The whole thing takes about fifteen minutes of your time.

Written only about your child

Every book is written from your specific memories, the small details no one else would know. You read the finished story and approve it before anything is printed. If it does not ring true, nothing goes to print and you get a full refund.

More than a photo book

A photo book holds the pictures. This holds the rest. The way they talked, what made them laugh, the version of them you are about to lose to next year.

One of the questions you'll answer

"Was there a moment when you noticed your child had changed or grown in a new way?"

When he helped me give his twin brothers a bath without being prompted

Without Being Asked

It happened during bath time. George's twin brothers were in the water, and without anyone suggesting it, George moved in to help. He just did it. He found his place beside the bath and took part in getting his brothers clean. It was not a big moment in the way that some moments announce themselves. There was no particular fuss made. But something about it stayed. Because it was unprompted. Because he chose to be useful before anyone thought to ask him...

A story you will love and grandparents will treasure. Written to be read quietly, years from now, and recognised as true.

The process

You show up. We do the rest.

Reflect on the year

Answer a few simple prompts about who they are right now. Ordinary days, small changes, what mattered most. Nothing to write, that is our job.

Choose 24 to 36 everyday photos from your phone. Ordinary moments work best. Your photos are deleted 30 days after your book is made.

03

We write your story

We turn your answers into a written story and lay your photos throughout. Seven chapters about this year.

04

You read and approve

You receive the finished story to read. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

05

We print and deliver

Your hardcover is printed and shipped to you free of charge. The digital version arrives by email.

Everything you give us, turned into a story you will read years from now.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Your finished book in two formats. A digital version with seven written chapters and your photos throughout, readable on any screen. And a printed A5 hardcover, made and shipped to you free of charge. You read the digital story and approve it before the hardcover is printed.
Before anything is printed, you read the finished story. If it does not ring true, nothing goes to print and you get a full refund. Once you approve it, your hardcover is printed and shipped. If it arrives with a printing or shipping defect, we replace it free of charge.
Yes. Once your story is written, you receive it in full to read. Nothing is printed or shipped until you approve it. If it is not right, nothing goes to print and you get a full refund.
No. You answer questions, some short, some that ask you to think for a moment. We write the story. The words in the book are yours, shaped entirely by what you have told us.
Everyday photos from your phone are perfect. Between 24 and 36. You don't need professional shots, ordinary moments work better. The ones you almost didn't take.
After you submit your answers and photos, we write your story and send it to you to read. Once you approve it, your hardcover is printed and shipped, and arrives in 5 to 10 days depending on your location.
OneBook is a book about your child's year, written for the adults who love them. Your child will enjoy reading it when they are older, that's part of the point.
No. Your photos are placed into your book exactly as you uploaded them. We use AI to help write the story, we do not use AI on your photos, and we never use your images to train any model. Your photos are automatically deleted 30 days after your book is delivered. As parents ourselves, this matters to us.
I'm a photographer and a parent. Every year I take hundreds of photos of my son. They stayed in the camera roll. I tried to print some. I tried making a photo book. But individual photos don't tell the full story, and designing a photo book is slow and laborious. I wanted something simpler — one book, every year, that will hold the version of him I was about to lose. So I built it. — Petr, founder and parent.

One book every year. A shelf of childhood.

This year is still here. The way they talk, the things they love, the version of them that exists right now — it is all still here.
Next year, this year will be harder to remember.
