Common Questions
Answers to the questions families ask most.
Can I create a book if the baby hasn't been born yet?
Yes. You can use the baby's name (if chosen) and customize with family details, dreams, and personality traits the parents hope for. Many families also create the book after the baby arrives.
What details do I need for a baby who isn't here yet?
A name (or placeholder), the family context, and any details the parents have shared: favorite animals, family traditions, hopes for the child. These small touches make the story feel personal.
Is this appropriate for a baby who can't read?
Absolutely. Parents read aloud, and the child grows into the book. By age 2-3, they'll start recognizing themselves in the illustrations and asking for it by name.
Can I include a message to the new parents?
Yes. The dedication page is perfect for a heartfelt message to the parents about the adventure they're about to begin.
What if I don't have a photo of the baby?
You can create the book with just a name and details. If you'd prefer to include a photo, you can wait until after the baby arrives and still use the same order.

Why Libronauts is different from other personalised books
Most personalised books work from templates: the story exists before your child does, and software inserts their name. Libronauts writes a new story for your specific child — from their name, personality, and a photo you upload. The result is a book that couldn't exist for any other child. That's what makes it a gift worth keeping.
