How a Numi book is made

1

Tell us their name

The letters of the name become the chapters. Three letters, eight letters — we pace the story so every book is about 20 spreads.

2

Tell us about them

Pronouns, age, an optional dedication. Add a birthday to unlock the Cosmic Appendix.

3

Pick or upload their look

Choose a hand-painted avatar (skin, hair, eyes), or upload a photo (coming soon) so the illustrator can paint their actual face.

4

See the first spreads, free

In about two minutes, we paint the first two spreads of their book — including the moment a friend gives back the first letter of their name.

5

Buy the book

Digital PDF, premium 8×8" hardcover, or both. Add the Cosmic Appendix for +$10.

6

We paint the rest

In about ten minutes the full 20-spread book is rendered. We email you the PDF instantly. The hardcover takes 10–14 business days to your door (US).
