Why us
Five things others do not do
Your child's real face
We do not pick a lookalike from a set of presets. The face in the artwork is your child's own, from your photo.
- 25×25 cm
A big book, not a pocket one. The illustrations fill the whole page.
- Large type
A child can read it, not only an adult. The text is not printed into the picture — it is typeset over it, so it is always crisp.
- Printed in Almaty
Three to five days, not weeks of waiting from abroad. Every book is checked by eye before it ships.
- You approve the layout
You see what it will look like before it goes to print. Not happy — we redo it.
Live example
Type a name and see how the book turns out
The text is not printed into the picture — it is typeset over it. That is why the name and the language change instantly while the illustration stays exactly the same.
Tale
Try:
Book language
In the real book the name takes Kazakh case endings: “Yerassylқа”, “Yerassylтың”.
Make a book like this
Ертеде қазақ даласының кең байтақ жерінде Yerassyl деген батыр өмір сүріпті. Оның Шалқұйрық есімді адал әрі сенімді досы болыпты.
How it works
A finished book in four steps
From order to finished book takes about two weeks.
You pick the story
By the hero's gender and your child's age — both are on every card.
You send the name and photo
One clear photo is enough. The name goes into the text with the right ending.
You approve the proof
You see the whole book before it reaches the printer. Don't like it — we redo it.
The book arrives
Printed in Almaty, delivered by courier or post anywhere in Kazakhstan.
The questions in the book follow the dialogic reading method. Read more
The art and the stories are our own. The Kazakh text is proofread by a native speaker. The technology places the child’s face and name — it does not write the book.
Reading together
How to read this book
Not reading to a child but talking with them. The method, questions that grow harder with each reading, and the tale’s glossary.
- Finished a spread — find its number on your phone and ask the question.
- Ask, then stay quiet and wait. Thinking takes time.
- Praise the answer: «Good catch».
- Expand it: repeat what they said and add a word or two.
- A minute later ask the same question again — the answer will be fuller.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer — write to us on WhatsApp and we'll reply personally.
How many days until the book is ready?
We show the proof one to two days after receiving the photo. Once you approve it, printing takes three to five days.
What kind of photo should I send?
One clear photo facing the camera, without harsh shadows. The main thing is that hair or a hat doesn't cover the face.
Is the name declined correctly in Kazakh?
Yes. The name goes into the text with its case ending: «Айбекке», «Әселдің», «Даниярмен». A person checks the doubtful cases before printing.
Do you deliver across Kazakhstan?
Yes. Courier within Almaty, post or a courier service to every other region.
What age are the books for?
The stories are written for children aged three to eight. Each story shows its own age range.
What if I don't like the face in the illustration?
You can ask for it to be redone until you approve the proof. Only the version you approve goes to print.
What size is the book? Are other sizes available?
The printed book on the site is 25×25 cm. We make 20×20 on request — write to us on WhatsApp.
Where do these questions come from?
The questions in the book are built on the dialogic reading method, studied since the 1980s: not reading to a child but talking with them. The child becomes the storyteller and the adult the listener. The full description is on the “Birge oqu” page.
