🪶 Inkling

A baptism book starring them.

Add their name and a photo. We write and illustrate a picture book with your child as the hero, and print it as a hardcover keepsake.

Your first book is free to make. Pay only to print.
Example cover: a Baptism or Christening book

A keepsake for their baptism day

Tell us your child’s name and who will be there. Inkling writes a gentle picture book about their baptism or christening and the people who love them, illustrated in one soft style.

Story ideas parents start with

  • The day of their christening, and everyone who came
  • A letter from their godparents
  • All the blessings for your life

We write and illustrate itYour child is the hero, drawn the same way on every page. It takes a few minutes.
3
Preview it, then orderRead every page first. Change anything you like, then order a printed hardcover or booklet.

More than a story — a keepsake

When a child sees themselves, their family, and their home on every page, the book becomes theirs — asked for again and again.

Questions

Can godparents be in the book?

Yes. Add them as characters, with photos if you like.

Do I need a photo?

No. A name is enough to start. A photo helps the illustrations look like your child.

Can I change the story?

Yes. You read every page before you order and can change any page you like.

What does it cost?

Making your first book is free. A hardcover is $45 and a printed booklet about $21, US shipping included, for a standard 24-page book. You see the exact price before you pay.

What if it arrives damaged?

We reprint it free. Your photos are never used to train AI.
