Ready-made story

Christmas at Our House

What you get

Two Christmas stories, ready to start

A long night of waiting at home, or a fallen star and a young reindeer on Christmas Eve: the idea and the setting are decided, so you only add your child.

Your child on every page

Add a photo once and your child is drawn the same way from the first page to the last, with their name in the story.

A story for Christmas Eve

Have it read aloud in the story's language, or record your own voice, for the night before Christmas.

Kindness at its heart

Both stories end in giving: a present your child wrapped themselves, or a warm scarf given to a neighbour in the snow.

Start from a ready-made story

Each one arrives with the idea, the setting and the style decided: add your child's photo and name, and change anything you like.

The Christmas Eve Star
A fallen little star, a young reindeer, and one magical night to light the way home.

One family's book, made with zeStory

Saddin's Cosmic Adventure

Made from the family's photos and a space adventure idea: a book to hold, a story to read, a film to watch and pages to colour.

The book

A hardcover to hold, or a print-ready PDF, made from the same pages.

Saddin sat in his room, surrounded by scattered star maps and robot parts. The faint hum of a thunderstorm outside made his heart race, yet his excitement bubbled beneath. He gazed at his latest creation, a small robot named Astro, glimmering with bright blue lights. "Astro, let’s explore space!" he whispered, as the first raindrop drummed against his window.

The story

Read page by page, with narration in the voice the family chose.

The film

Every page becomes a moving scene with its own short voice-over, joined into one film.

The colouring book

The same pictures as line art, ready to print and colour in.

Questions families ask

Will my child look like themselves in the pictures?

Yes. You add your child as the hero once, and the same face is carried through every picture in the book, from the first page to the last.

Can the story be read aloud?

Yes. A narrator can read the story aloud in the language it is written in, and you can record your own voice reading each page instead.

What if I do not like a page?

You can change the words on any page, or ask for a new picture for that page, before you share or print the book.

How much does a story cost?

A typical 12-page illustrated story costs 81 coins. Narration, film and print are priced separately.
