The makers
We are Wouter and Lisa, parents of Pim. His first book took us months of evenings and weekends, and BoekjesAtelier grew out of it. We still build and run the platform ourselves, and with our background in cybersecurity we handle the photos you upload with care.

Genuinely personal
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.
