Create a bespoke family story book that tells your child’s
unique family story
Welcome to Storydo
If you’re here, you probably already sense that your family’s story matters, that the moments and memories are worth holding onto, and that the people and history that shaped your family are too important to forget. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
Storydo is a platform that makes it really easy to create a family story book for your child. The online BookBuilder will guide you through your child’s unique family story — from grandparents and family history through to milestones, favourite people and everyday life.
The hardest part of telling your family’s story is knowing where to start. We give you the structure, the questions, and the prompts, and you fill them with your family. Every word can be changed, added to, or kept exactly as it comes. No writing from scratch. No AI. Just your story in a 60–90 page A4 hardcover book for £69, delivered within two weeks.
Your Family Story in a Book
What our customers say
“It’s been so much fun to put together and it brought up some amazing memories for me and my partner.”
“Honestly, as soon as I started I couldn’t stop crying because it’s so clever how it is laid out. The wording is so inclusive, which is fantastic! Thank you for letting me be part of this, it’s been so much fun to put together and it brought up some amazing memories for me and my partner to talk about in the process of making it.”
Hayley, mum to Goldie
“The level of customisation is mind-blowing”
“Louis has got a new book and he loved reading it. But it is not any book though, it tells HIS story, told by Maman & Papa. Thanks to the amazing @storydobooks we were able to create a bespoke book that tells our family story, with our pictures. We used the book builder on Storydo website and a few days later we received our book in the post. It’s an amazing way to keep our memories and explain to Louis where he comes from. The level of customisation is mind-blowing and completely inclusive, so you can include as many details as you’d like, whatever your story is. There are some things Louis doesn’t understand now, but later it will be a great start to answer some of the questions he might have about his parents and his birth. It is a truly unique book to keep and cherish forever, I really recommend you take a look @storydobooks!”

Benefits of Storydo Books
With family members increasingly absorbed in their own digital worlds, the shared family stories are getting lost. Storydo’s BookBuilder helps parents turn their unique family story into a bespoke hardcover book, celebrating their shared history, bringing families closer and giving children a strong sense of belonging.
This is their story, and their book. By capturing their unique family history and all the love that surrounds them, a Storydo book gives children a deep sense of belonging, helps shape their identity, and fills them with pride in where they come from.
Hard drives die, cloud storage lapses, digital files corrupt. A physical hardcover book doesn’t just preserve your memories — it gives them the weight and permanence they deserve. Designed as a keepsake, your Storydo book is a high-quality A4 hardcover made to last for generations.
Research shows that family storytelling builds identity, makes children happier and more confident, and creates closer, more resilient families. Children love revisiting their book for years to come — and every reading is another chance to share the story.
