What you get

A Löwenbuch is a personally designed picture book, printed and posted to you — with your own child inside the story rather than a stranger's.

  • A printed book, not a file It is printed, bound and delivered. Each copy is made for one child, so no two of them are the same.
  • Your child in the pictures You send a photograph and a name, and the illustrations are redrawn with the help of AI, and checked by us, so the child on every page is yours. A grown-up they know can be in it too.
  • It can read itself aloud Hold a phone over a printed page and the picture moves and the characters speak, in AI voices made from your recordings. Optional, and always an addition to reading together.

Book facts

Asking the questions. Holding the plan. Choosing what comforts. Saying “wait” when wait is what is needed. With Jo the nurse, who answers every question honestly and waits until the plan is ready. Tap any of them to hear them, and watch every spread move: the arms laid out on the hall rug, the waiting-room clock and the tapping foot, and one arm still held at the end of the day.

What your child calls the octopus

Leave this empty and he stays {opt.ollo_nick}. Type a name and he is called that everywhere in the book — printed on the page and read aloud.

You write this one yourself.

The colour of the toy octopus

{opt.ollo_nick} is on every page of the book — his eight arms are what the story is about. Only his colour changes; he keeps his shape, his eyes and all eight arms. The child's top is soft coral unless you change it.

My eight-arm plan

Draw Ollo — or any octopus you like. Every arm gets one job.

For the grown-up reading this

This story shows one child's visit. The number of injections, the comfort options and the waiting time can all be different.
