Where can I get a personalized storybook that features siblings?
Guides · By Inkling · Updated
Inkling makes one personalized picture book with every brother and sister in it: you add each child as a character, and one story gives all of them a part. The hardcover is $45, the same price as a book about one child, and making and previewing the first book is free.
How many children can be in one book?
We do not set a limit. These are the books currently stored on our servers, counted by how many children are in the cast:
| Children in the book | Books |
|---|---|
| None (a book about a grown-up, a pet or a toy) | 4 |
| 1 | 7 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 1 |
| 7 | 1 |
| 8 | 1 |
So 6 of 17 books, about one in three, star two or more children. The largest has 8 children across 29 pages. Of the 26 children in those 6 books, 6 were drawn from a photo the parent added; the rest were drawn from a written description.
How it works
- Add each child by name. Add a photo of each one if you want the pictures to look like them, or describe them in a sentence.
- Inkling writes one story in which they all take part, and draws every page in one style, so each child looks the same from page to page.
- You read the whole book on screen first. You can change the words on any page and redraw any picture before you order.
- Grown-ups, grandparents and pets can join the cast in the same way.
One book for all of them, or one each?
One shared book costs $45 and gives siblings a story about each other, which suits a holiday or a new baby. One book each costs $45 per child, and each child gets to be the only hero. You can make the shared book first and then make each child their own; the characters you add are kept, so you do not add them again.
How we counted
We counted the people in each book’s cast whose description gives an age under 13. That is every book stored on our servers on November 3, 2026, whether or not it was printed. Seventeen books is a small sample, and books that were deleted are not included. We will update this page as more books are made.
