How Your Child's
Book is Made
From your very first message to the moment the book lands on your doorstep — every single step is personal, thoughtful, and done with your child in mind.
The personalisation begins here
You Tell Us About Your Child
You fill in our detailed form — sharing your child's name, age, diagnosis, communication goals, and most importantly: what makes them light up. Their favourite animals, colours, characters, obsessions. Bear reads every single word.
Danny personally reads every enquiry within 1–2 working days. He never uses templates. Every response is written just for your child.
Thoughtful design, not templates
Danny Plans Every Page
Danny sits down with your child's form and maps out every page — which symbols to include, how to sequence them for your child's specific communication level, and how to weave in their personality throughout. No two plans are ever alike.
This planning stage is where the magic starts. Danny draws on years of lived experience with Bear and deep knowledge of AAC communication strategies.
Where art meets purpose
Bear Handcrafts Every Page
This is Bear's part. He illustrates every symbol by hand — not clip-art, not stock images. Rich, detailed drawings full of his own personality. If your child loves space, Bear draws rockets and planets. If they love dogs, every emotion card has a friendly dog. The artistry is real and the care is unmistakable.
Bear has autism himself — which means every image is drawn with an understanding of what visually resonates with neurodiverse children. His pictures are intentionally rich, clear, and engaging.
Built to last, built with care
Quality Check & Assembly
Danny reviews every completed page against your original brief — checking that the symbols match your child's communication level, the theme feels cohesive, and every detail from your form has been woven in. Then the book is carefully bound and finished.
The books are printed on premium card stock, laminated for durability, and spiral-bound so they lay flat and stay open — essential for children with coordination challenges.
Not a parcel — a gift
Dispatched with a Personal Note
Your child's book is wrapped beautifully and dispatched with a personal handwritten note from Danny — including tips on how to introduce the book and make the most of it. Every order feels like it was packed by someone who genuinely cares — because it was.
Standard dispatch within 5–7 working days. Express options available. Free UK delivery on all PECS book orders.
