The most beautiful Mother's Day gift: a book from your child

A gift mum will never forget: a book where her child is the main character. Personal, heartfelt and treasured forever.

Mother’s Day is that one moment each year to pause and appreciate everything mum does. And honestly — flowers are lovely, but they wilt. Chocolate is delicious, but it disappears. So what’s left as the ultimate way to show how truly special mum is?

A book. One where her child is the main character.


Why a personalised book is so special

There are many gifts you can give, but few feel as personal as a story that is truly about your family. At MijnEigenBoekje.nl you create a children’s book made especially for your family:

  • Your child’s name, appearance and even a photo inside
  • Multiple children or family members as characters
  • A story that adapts to your choices
  • A preview so you know exactly what you’re ordering

Mum doesn’t just see a book – she sees her child as hero, adventurer or explorer. That’s a moment she’ll never forget.

A gift from the child, not just from the parent

The beautiful thing about a personalised book is that it feels like it comes from the child itself. You arrange it, but the main character is your child – with their name, hair, eye colour and adventure.

Add a handmade card with your little one’s signature, and mum has a gift that truly comes straight from the heart.

Tip: Order in time! To receive before Mother’s Day (10 May), we recommend ordering by the end of April at the latest.


How to make it extra special

  1. Choose a theme that suits mum – adventure, nature, magic or sport
  2. Add a photo of the child for the most personal experience
  3. Give characters names she’ll recognise: mum, dad, brother, sister
  4. Check the preview and adjust until it’s perfect
  5. Add a personal message on the first page

Which ages is it suitable for?

Our books are ideal for toddlers and preschoolers through to young readers. The lovely thing: mum can read the story aloud while the child is small, and later the child can read it themselves and look back on those wonderful times.

A gift that grows with them.
