Should I pick a different book for a boy or a girl?

No. Newborns don’t have preferences, and as they grow, what matters most is the story—not gender. Choose by age and by what you’d enjoy reading.

Can I order the book before the baby is born?

Yes. Our books are ready to order, so you don’t need to know the baby’s name. If you want to add your own recorded voice, do that before checkout.

How far in advance should I order for a baby shower?

Allow time for printing and shipping. Check our shipping page for details, and order at least a week before your visit.

Is reading to a baby pointless?

Not at all. Babies might not understand the words, but they pick up the sounds, rhythm, and your voice. The book is just a reason to make it a daily habit.

Can the gift be shipped directly to the parents?

Yes, you can enter a different shipping address at checkout. We ship worldwide.
