You taught me to drive in the Kroger parking lot. Sundays, in your old '88 Ford Ranger. It was stick. The first day, I stalled it about eleven times. Every time, you said one word. Again.
Their real story, beautifully told.
An illustrated hardcover about someone you love, written from your memories and drawn from their photo. No two are alike.

Pages from a sample book
The Wifi Reaches
The true story of Tom, as told by Meg
You worked nights at the plant my whole childhood. You still came to every swim meet. Straight from work, in your boots. One time you fell asleep sitting up in the bleachers. You woke up exactly when my race started.
You had already cleared out the garage room. You had put a desk in it. You never said one word about it. You just said, “The wifi reaches.”

Questions
How is this different from other personalized books?
Most personalized books are one fixed story with a name swapped in. Yours is written from your memories, so it could only ever be about them.
What if I can't remember much?
A few small details are enough. We ask simple questions with examples to jog your memory, and you can add more after you order.
Can I change things before it prints?
Yes. You read the whole finished book first and can ask for changes twice. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
How long does the hardcover take?
Standard shipping takes about 3 weeks in the US, and Rush takes 2 to 3. The digital copy is yours the moment you approve the book, so you always have something to give on the day.
Are the illustrations made with AI?
Yes. AI helps us draw them in our classic picture-book style from your photo, and the story comes from your real memories.
What if it isn't right?
You read the whole book before it's printed, and you can ask for changes twice. It's only printed once you approve it.
