Your Pet Did NOT Steal Christmas

No. Your pet is wrongly accused and helps uncover what happened. The family puts things right, the accuser says sorry, and the ending leaves room for a little harmless pet mischief. There is no punishment or frightening villain.

Yes, if they can move around safely on dry floors and rest beside a cushion. Rabbits, birds, ferrets, guinea pigs and donkeys can be considered; the scenes adapt to their bodies, and a donkey waits at the doorway of the smaller rooms. Horses are too big for this particular house. Pets that live only in water or need to stay in a controlled enclosure cannot star in this story.

A cozy family Christmas Eve with a tree, stockings, presents, cocoa and cookies left for Santa. There is no religious storyline, and Santa is talked about but never seen. A child, Grandma and Grandpa are heard from off the page; only your pet is ever drawn, and you need supply no family names or photos.

Every book is made to order and takes about two weeks door to door, so order about three weeks before Christmas Eve, and earlier if you can. After that, the faster shipping offered at checkout can still make it, and the arrival date shown there for your address is the one that counts.

A 40-page 8.5-inch square hardcover, printed just for you. Your pet is the star of every picture, and their name is on the cover. A page at the front has a note in your own words. A real person checks the book before it prints. Shipping in the U.S. is free. If it arrives damaged, we send a new one for free.

Yes, one page. After the cover, you can see one page from inside the book with your pet in it, free. We paint the rest after you order. A real person checks every picture against your photo before it prints.

One pet, facing the camera, in good light. Daylight near a window is best. The face, colors and markings should be sharp. Skip heavy shadows, busy backgrounds and photos with two pets. A phone photo is fine.

Yes. We make the pictures with AI from the photo you send. They are not painted by hand. A real person on our team checks every book before it prints.

We keep it, with what you typed and the art we made. That way we can reprint your book if something goes wrong, and make your next book without a new photo. To have it deleted, email support@illustratedyou.com, or ask us to close your account. No public gallery. No ads without asking you first. We don’t train AI on your photos, and we set up the AI services we use so they don’t train their general AI models on them either.
