Creating Connection
"Hudson loves the park, cars, stickers and his Mommy. Our storybook has all of his favorite things, so we love to read it together. It's the best part of my day."
More Than a Book — It’s Uniquely Yours
Every story we create is completely custom — no templates, no shortcuts. Just your child, their world, and the love you want them to feel on every page.
Each hardcover is one-of-a-kind. It's made just for your family, with no templates or copy-paste stories in sight.
Each storybook includes 12 illustration pages and 12 text pages. The illustrations are printed on high-quality paper, and look just like your family.
Every page is shaped by the people, places, and things your family loves — whether that's tacos, the beach, or racecars, it's all in the story.
Include a personal note for the recepients that makes this book truly theirs — a note they will carry with them for life.

Hi, I'm Jake 👋
I started StorybookU after struggling to find meaningful, truly personalized graduation gifts for my friends. When I gave them their first storybooks and saw their faces light up as they flipped through pages starring their illustrated selves, I knew I had to share that magic with others.
The best gifts are the ones that make people say, "Where did you get this?" That's my mission—creating magical, personalized keepsakes that reflect the love and thoughtfulness we have for the people who matter most.
When I'm not creating storybooks, you'll find me traveling, reading, or playing with my dog, Levi.
Create a Bond That Lasts Forever
Strengthen bonds and give a gift that never gets old — a personalized adventure where your family members are the stars. It becomes your special tradition that deepens your relationship and shows them how much they mean to you.
