Delight your wee one with an award winning personalized book which will capture his or her imagination and take it to a far away land. The journey begins at Flattenme where they… Oh, I promise it won’t hurt one bit!
Using wonderful words, beauiful artwork, and just the right amount of pixie dust, the team at Flattenme weaves a flat version of your favorite little person into the most enchanting stories. The process is quite simple from your end. Find the book you like. Whether it’s a swashbuckling pirate tale, the story of a mischievous monster, a whimsical story of wee folk, or a fun potty dance book, Flattenme has it waiting for you! Next, provide a few details about your child and use Flattenme’s simple guidelines to send just the right photo of your little person to be incorporated into the personalized book you’ve selected. You can even add a special dedication which is artfully placed in the book.
After happily finding myself in the magical realm of Flattenme, I was instantly reminded of one of my favorite quotes. Fairy artist Brian Froud said “Faeries take us to a land where wisdom is inseparable from whimsey.” So, I giggled as I read the story of Flattenme, which ended with Arthur Clarke’s quote, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Flattenme takes us to that magical place where reality and imagination are one and the same.
It was without hesitation that I chose The Tuesday Mushroom King as a special gift for Lily Cait’s first birthday. With a name fit for a fairy, it was a lot of fun for me to see her depicted as such. As Lily grows, I know she will love seeing her name and face in this special book.
Flattenme provides us with the opportunity to capture the magic of childhood. Their site is easy to navigate, and delightful to explore. And, the team promises that no pixes are harmed during the gathering of pixie dust. Venture over to http://www.flattenme.com/. Step in, and create a special story for your wee one.
