Personalized story
A personalized friendship story for your puppy
Lumora writes a complete, illustrated warm friendship story about the gentle kindnesses a puppy can recognize and offer. Your puppy's name on the cover, on every page, and in every scene. About three minutes from "start" to a book your puppy will ask you to read again.

The Shell We Shared
Zoe came down to the beach holding her pink conch shell, smooth as a secret kept for a long time. The sand was busy with strangers and crying gulls and someone's lost umbrella rolling past. Then she spotted Toby, already digging, already happy, sending small clouds of sand into the bright air.
Read the whole book →Why this works for puppies
- Models specific acts of kindness (sharing the last bite, going first into a scary room).
- Honors the small social geometries a puppy actually navigates — shy in line, brave at the swings, both in the same day.
- Friendship is shown in actions, never lectured about.
What changes when the puppy is the hero
A book starring the family puppy isn't a book about a puppy. What makes it worth keeping is where the child sits inside it.
- The puppy is the hero; your child is where it goes home to. We write the child into the book by name — the one being run back to, the one waiting on the last page. Without that you have a charming puppy story rather than your family's book.
- Written to be read aloud to someone small. The audience for a pet book is nearly always a young child, so these stay warm, a little silly, and completely free of peril from first page to last.
- The specifics are what make it yours. The ear that won't stand up, the insistence on sitting on the newspaper, the one word it actually obeys. Tell us those and the illustrations carry them on every page; leave them out and you get a generic puppy.
- It always comes home. No lost-in-the-woods stretch, no trip to the vet, no night spent missing. Whatever happens in the middle, the last page has the puppy back in the house with everybody it belongs to.

Questions parents ask
Will the puppy in the illustrations look like ours?
Tell us what your puppy looks like (coloring, markings, the one ear that won't stand up) and the illustrations are painted to match — same puppy on every page.
How long does it take?
About three minutes. The story text appears first, then the paintings arrive page by page while you watch — most families read the finished book the same sitting they made it.
Is the first book really free?
Yes. No card, no trial countdown. Make one friendship book free, read it online with narration, and decide afterwards if you want more.
Can I get the book in another language?
Yes — the story is written natively in the language you choose, never machine-translated. English and Chinese (Simplified or Traditional) are fully supported; Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Korean and Arabic are available too, each with its own version of this page.
Can it become a real, physical book?
Yes — download the PDF free, or order a stitched hardcover with the illustrations printed across full spreads. Grandparents tend to demand one.
Is the story gentle enough for young kids?
Yes — pet stories are written for reading aloud to young children: warm, silly, zero peril. The puppy always makes it home.
Where does my child come into it?
By name, on the page. The puppy is the hero and your child is who it belongs to — mentioned by name, and the one the last page comes home to.
Do we need a photo of them?
No. Tell us the coloring, the markings and the one odd habit, and the illustrations are painted from that description — the same puppy on every page, not a different one each scene.
Every page is reviewed by our automated safety editor (no death, no scary, no separation from caregivers). We never train any AI model on your child's name, photos, or stories. Free first story — no card needed, no waitlist.
No card. No waitlist. 60 quiet seconds.
