Best friends from day one.
The story of your child and their furry sidekick.
A Whimbel pet and baby book captures the bond between your child and their pet as a beautifully illustrated storybook — real moments of their friendship, illustrated from your photos.
What makes this book special
The way the dog sniffed the baby's head. The cat who decided the crib was also their bed. The toddler who learned to say the dog's name before "mama." The bond between a child and their pet is pure magic — and it deserves its own story.
- Features your child AND their pet as characters — both illustrated from photos
- Captures the real moments of their friendship, not a made-up adventure
- Perfect for families where the pet was there first (the "original baby")
- A story they'll read together — one on the couch, one on the lap
Why it matters
Pets don't live forever. But a book about the years they shared does. Create it while the magic is still happening.

Frequently asked questions
Can you illustrate my specific pet breed?
Yes! Upload a photo of your pet and our illustrations will capture their breed, coloring, and unique features consistently across every page.
What if the story is about a pet that has passed?
You can make a memorial book about the time your child spent with a pet who has died. It keeps those memories in one place, and gives you a gentle way to talk about them together.
Can I include multiple pets?
Of course! Upload photos of each pet and they'll all appear in the story. The more characters, the richer the tale.
