Ordinary photos work better than posed ones
Asleep on the couch, waiting by the door, in the back of the car. The everyday images are the ones that carry the relationship, and they make clearer line art than action shots.
Colouring book ideas
For the dog who was part of the family
Losing a pet is often a child's first experience of grief. Colouring a page of them is a quiet, unhurried way to sit with it, and the finished book stays on the shelf afterwards.

Choosing photos of them
Include the people, not only the pet
Pages with the child and the animal together tend to matter more over time than portraits of the animal alone.
There is no hurry
Some families order straight away, others wait months. Both are fine. The photos will still be there.
Every spread pairs the original photo with its colouring page, so the memory and the drawing sit side by side.
How it works
- Pick your photos. Six to eighteen, straight from your phone.
- Choose a cover and title. The cover stays in full colour.
- Pick the detail level. Simple and bold for little hands, or intricate for older colourists.
- We print and post it. Or email you a print-ready PDF, if you would rather print it yourself.

Questions
The photos I have are old and low quality. Will that work?
Often yes. Clear, well-lit photos give the best line art, but we can usually work with older phone photos. You will see a preview before you pay.
Can I include more than one pet?
Yes, one book can hold a whole succession of animals if that is what suits your family.
What happens to the photos of our pet?
They are used to make the book and then deleted. They are never sold, shared, or kept.
Take your time with it
Six photos is enough, whenever you are ready. You will see a preview first.
