Who is Little Lantern?
We’re a small, independent publisher of personalized picture books. Every story is written and edited for reading aloud, then illustrated so the child you love is right there on the page, named and drawn just like them.
How do I make a personalized book?
Choose a story, add a first name and pick how they look. Then write a message for the very first page. You can flip through the whole book before you buy, and every change appears in the preview as you go.
How do I place an order?
When you’re happy with the preview, choose a format, enter your email and check out securely with Stripe. Digital books are ready to download straight away; printed books are made to order and sent with tracking.
How much are Little Lantern books?
Hardcover $54.99 · Softcover $34.99 · Gift Set $84.99 · Digital Edition $19.99. Tracked US shipping is $6.99 per printed order.
Why do personalized books make such good gifts?
Because the person opening it is in it. A child who finds their own name in a story, drawn as themselves, tends to ask for that book again and again, and a heartfelt message on page one turns it into a keepsake.
