More than a name on the cover
In a BoekjesAtelier book, more than the name changes. Your child, the story and the style become personal, and you review and edit the complete book before you order.
A recognizable character
Based on a photo, your child becomes an illustrated character that truly looks like them.
Your own rhyming story
Written around your own details: name, stuffed animal, hobby or the moment you are celebrating.
Your own illustration style
Match the style to a birth announcement card, a favorite stuffed animal or the nursery.
