"So much more fun than a traditional baby book. A gift that comforts instead of preaches."

A poetry book to match their personality

We think proper personalisation means more than just sticking their name on the front. While building one of our poetry anthologies, you can add names and photos using our supremely simple-to-use site. Plus, you can choose from a selection of design themes cooked up by our tremendoubly talented creative team.

Written and compiled by poetry pros

We leave writing poetry to the greats. When compiling your anthology, you can switch and swap over 100 poems written by people who can really wield a nib. They’ve been lovingly collected and curated by Ana Sampson – bookaholic, cat-lover and seasoned poetry anthologist.
