It will never exist twice.

A personalized newborn book is an illustrated album that tells the story of a baby's arrival with its own details: date, time, weight, family, and the first words spoken to them. At Spark Stories, every page is painted in watercolor in our studio, and the child and their loved ones appear as their own watercolor portraits.

A newborn book is the gift that new parents are still talking about years later. Where the plush toy or the mobile end up in the attic, the book takes its place on the nightstand, then on the family bookshelf. It is the object the child will open as an adult to read the story of their own arrival.

When parents already have the stack of expected gifts (clothes, plush toys, furniture), a personalized newborn book is the opposite: a one-of-a-kind object that no other guest can give in duplicate, and that speaks of them and their child. The original newborn gift that the family will keep coming back to.

From birth. New parents read it out loud to their baby during the first weeks: that's the age when the gentle voice and rhythm of the sentences matter more than the words. The child will rediscover their book around age 3 or 4, recognizing the watercolor portraits of their family.

Our newborn book comes in two formats: softcover at €57, hardcover at €69. The price includes composing the story, the watercolor illustration of every page, printing in Europe on FSC-certified paper, and shipping. The price of a beautiful art book, and it lasts a lifetime.

Very little: your baby's first name, date and time of birth, weight, place of birth, and one or more family photos to compose the watercolor portraits. You can also add a personal dedication and choose which memories appear in the story. The whole thing takes about fifteen minutes.

Yes, and it has become a baby shower favorite, precisely because it doesn't duplicate the usual registry items. You can offer a gift card directly at the baby shower: the parents will prepare the book themselves after the baby is born, once they have the name, the time, and the first photos.

Absolutely. Many close family and friends prefer to give their newborn gift in the weeks or months after the baby arrives, once the family has caught its breath. A Spark Stories gift card never expires: the parents compose the book whenever they are ready, and receive their printed copy within 5 to 12 business days.

They are used only to compose the illustrated portraits. They are erased immediately afterward, never kept, never shared. You can also delete the portraits from your account, or keep them to create other books.

Everything stays editable after your order, the text as well as the illustrations. You adjust each page until it feels like them, and nothing goes to print without your approval.

Creating your book takes about fifteen minutes. Printing and shipping then take 5 to 12 business days, depending on your location and the shipping option you choose.

Yes, up to three. Whether it's a dog, a cat or any other beloved companion, each one gets their own watercolor portrait and their place in the story, like Maracuja, the dog in Luna's book.

Yes. The date, the time, the weight, the place, your memories and your promise compose the narrative, page after page. Luna's book, the one you just leafed through, was born exactly that way, from her parents' own words.

Of course. Give the book to compose: you offer a gift card, and the parents write their memories themselves, at the moment that feels right. It's often the gift they still talk about years later.
