About Blossom Reads
Why We Make Personalised Children's Books
Blossom Reads turns a child's photos and details into a printed storybook built around them. Our aim is simple: make a book they want to open again.
From Their Details to a Printed Book
Start with the reader's name, age and at least one clear photo. Then choose a story recipe or start with your own idea, and answer questions that give the story its people, places and small details.
AI helps draft the words and create the first illustrations. You can create a free preview before payment. After checkout, our team reviews the paid order and sends a full digital proof for your approval before print.

Facts, Promises and Ambition
A product fact, a customer promise and a long-term aim are not the same thing. Here is what we mean by each.
Customer Promise
Approval Comes Before Print
You see the full digital proof and can request changes. If it still is not right, tell us before print so we can revise it or refund the order.
Our Aim
A Book They Want to Open Again
This is the goal we design for, not a promise of a specific reading or learning outcome. Every child and family is different.

Nauris Dorbe
Founder, Blossom Reads
Hi, I'm Nauris.
I'm a dad of two. My six-year-old just started kindergarten, with all the chaos that brings. My one-year-old is still on my shoulders for most family walks. The last four years of being a parent are the reason Blossom Reads exists.
When my older son was small, I started watching the same thing every parent I know is watching. Kids whose attention spans shorten every year. Kids who pick a tablet over a book without thinking. I read the research. I tried the obvious fixes. Nothing I bought at a bookshop was strong enough to compete with a feed.
What I kept coming back to was this. Kids will reach for a book on their own, again and again, if the book feels like it is about them. Not 'personalised' with their name swapped in. Actually about them. Their face. Their world. A story that fits where they are right now in their reading.
I built the smallest version of that in early 2023, sent it to friends with kids, watched what happened, and kept going.
That is what Blossom Reads is. Every book is printed, posted to your door, written for your child specifically, and illustrated to look like them. There is no app. There is no feed. There is no subscription. The book sits on the shelf and gets pulled out again and again. That is the whole job.
I want to be honest about the AI part, because this is where most personalised book companies are getting it wrong right now.
I have spent eleven years building production AI systems, including for Ericsson, Brainbase, and a public-sector deployment that has been running in production since 2017. I know exactly how AI is being used badly with children today: bulk-generated content with no editorial layer, models that produce something that looks fine on a quick glance and falls apart on the second read. Blossom Reads uses AI heavily, but applied with care. It matches an illustrated character to your child's photos. It fits a story to their reading stage and interests. It makes sure no two books we ever ship are the same. And the human part of the job, which I take more seriously, is the editorial review on every order before it prints.
We are still small. I personally read most of the support emails. If a book is not right when you preview it, I will rewrite it, regenerate the illustrations, or refund you. That promise is not buried in the small print. It is the only way I want to run this.
Books print from partners in the US and the UK depending on where you order from, so most orders ship within a week.
If you want to talk, I am easy to find on LinkedIn, or you can write to me at nauris.dorbe@blossomreads.com. I read every email.
