The details you can't
see from the cover 💛
A YOUMI book isn't a printed form. It's a small, hand-built object — and the difference lives in the choices below.
A face that holds
One photograph is enough. We match the shape, the tone, the hair, the freckles, the glasses — and the likeness carries through every spread.
A voice that fits
We listen for the things you give us — pets, family, hobbies, the words they say — and weave them in until it reads less like a story and more like a memory.
Pictures drawn to the beats
Spreads follow the chapter, not the other way round. Every illustration is composed for the moment — not lifted from a library and dropped behind a name.
Made to be opened, again
Hardback cover. Sewn signatures. Matte 100gsm paper. Lies flat at any page. Survives a thousand bedtimes, two house moves, and being chewed by a teething baby.
Revisions without the sigh
Don't love the first pass? We rewrite the chapters, redraw the spreads, swap the art style. You pay only when the preview makes you smile.
Built for the unwrapping
Personalised dedication page, optional gift wrap, keepsake sleeve. Made for the moment someone tears the paper off and sees their name on the cover.
Designed for a long shelf 📖
What it's made of
FSC-certified, acid-free paper. Soy-based inks. A matte hardback cover with optional foil. Printed close to home, to keep the miles off.
What we promise
If anything is wrong with the printing, the binding, or the finish — we replace it, no questions, no forms. Your only job is to enjoy the reading.
