What Will I Be This Halloween?
Starring Your Child

A personalized Halloween book is a custom storybook in which your own child is the main character, illustrated from a photo you upload rather than drawn as a generic child. In this one, a little Halloween magic lets them try on six different Halloween characters before choosing their favorite and going trick-or-treating.

No. Upload an ordinary, clear, front-facing photo where their face is easy to see, in good natural light. No costume photo needed — we create all six Halloween costumes for you.

No. It is designed from the ground up for ages 1–6: friendly round shapes, smiling faces, happy jack-o'-lanterns and warm golden light. No blood, no gore, no horror faces, no sharp teeth, no gravestones and no realistic monsters appear anywhere in any theme.

Six, one per page, and their favorite is the one they choose at the end and wear for the rest of the book. You pick their favorite and up to five more from a big list — K-pop star, princess, unicorn, fairy, superhero, dinosaur, ninja, pixel block hero, monster truck driver, witch, mermaid and plenty more — and we fill any gaps with costumes that suit their adventure.

Yes. This year's most-asked-for costumes are on the list — K-pop star, princess, unicorn and fairy, and superhero, dinosaur, ninja, pixel block hero and monster truck driver — alongside the classics. If their favorite character isn't there, type it in and we draw them in a home-made-style version of it, face always showing.

Yes — it's the first costume question. Pick the one they're dreaming of, or type your own. They wear it on the cover, hold it up at the start of the story, put it on for the big reveal on page ten, then carries through getting ready, trick-or-treating and the ending.

No — this book stars your child alone, and they are the only person illustrated on every page. A family photo is fine to upload: if others are in it, you just tap your child and we draw them on their own. On the trick-or-treating pages other children and neighbours can appear in the background, without detailed faces.

Your child's name and face, their age, their favorite costume and the others they try on, which of the three Halloween adventures they go on, the illustration style, what they love most about Halloween, who the book is from, and a dedication message.

Under two minutes to answer the questions, and the preview appears straight away. There are eight short questions before the preview, most of them a single tap, and a few quick finishing touches after.

The instant PDF download is ready in minutes and works right up to Halloween night. For the printed hardcover, order by October 15 — delivery to the US, UK, CA, AU & IN usually takes 8–12 business days, and where an estimated date is available for your address it is shown at checkout.

Yes — it's a popular grandparent gift. The book is about your grandchild, and the dedication page carries your message to them.

Because trying on characters is what a young child actually loves about Halloween, and it is the one thing a generic book cannot personalize. Here, the transformations ARE the story: your child becomes six different characters, one per page, and then chooses the one that feels right. It gives the book a beginning, a middle and a real ending instead of a parade of costume pictures.

Yes, and it is what turns the book into a story. You tell us the costume they want most and a few more they'd have fun trying. Their favorite is on the cover; in the story they hold it up first, then try the others on, one per page — and the plot becomes a question: which one will they choose? It pays off on page ten with the biggest illustration in the book, and their favorite then carries through getting ready, trick-or-treating and the ending. Pick fewer extras and we fill the rest.

Most personalized Halloween books drop your child's name into a story that is otherwise identical for everyone. This one is illustrated from your photo, so your child is recognisably themselves inside all six costumes, and the story is built around the costumes and the adventure you chose. The costume changes on every page; the child never does.

The best Halloween gifts for toddlers build anticipation rather than a sugar crash. A personalized Halloween book — starring them, in six costumes, ending with the one they picked — is read for weeks before the big night and kept long after the candy is gone.

Share your child's name and age, pick the costume they want most and a few more to try, choose one of three Halloween adventures, and upload one clear photo. The book is created from your answers. Preview the whole book free with them in costume, edit anything, and pay only when you love it.
