Throughout the journey of creating the book of your choice you will be asked to fill in various details, which are necessary to continue the process.

To guarantee a high quality of your book, we collaborate with exclusive and well-versed partners in Western Europe. All of them place great value on producing premium products with high-quality materials following the latest trends in printing technology.
In addition to that we turned our attention to environmental aspects also. All our printing partners are audited and part of the responsible forestry ecosystem.
CUKIBO books are aimed at children up to 8 years old. Of course, newborns are not yet able to look at a book, which is read to them. However, the “Story of Your 1st Year” for example is a perfect present for the birth, which turns into a storybook as soon as the parent(s) and carer(s) begin reading to the little one. This usually starts around the first birthday of a child.
All other books are likely to be best enjoyed by kids from 2 years on. However, it depends on the child and the parent(s) and carer(s) as well. We truly believe that reading, storytelling and pointing at illustrations from an early age helps to learn about words, language and the joy of books. Plus, there is quite a lot of research supporting those beliefs.
The Story Of Your 1st Year is a present for the birth, and here you are invited to include a personal dedication throughout the journey of creating the book. For all other books, it is not provided for the moment.
If a name you're trying to create a book for isn't working, it may be that there's an unsupported character or too many or too few letters.
Our website will alert you if there is an issue with the name that's entered, with a pop-up message right by the entry field. If length is the issue, you'll see a message informing you the name entered it's too short or too long. If there is a character that isn't supported, you'll see a message stating no spaces, punctuation, or symbols.
We are all about inclusivity, so if you have problems with your kids’ actual name, then please write to us, and we will check out what the issue is and do our best to make it happen for you, as we strongly believe we should adapt to our customers’ needs, and not the other way round: hey@cukibo.com
