Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Stareworthy books different from others?

Expand Arrow

Stareworthy combines high-quality photos with custom children's books. Our books uniquely blend your family photos with engaging, educational stories designed for early childhood development. What really sets us apart is that Stareworthy isn’t about making up stories—it’s about preserving the real ones. While other custom books may focus on imaginative tales, we focus on real experiences, real relationships, and real memories. By using actual family photos and pairing them with rhyming text that’s relatable to young children, we create a truly personal experience—so it’s not just a book, but a way to celebrate and relive your most precious memories.

What educational value do Stareworthy books have?

Expand Arrow

Stareworthy books are thoughtfully designed to support early childhood development by combining two powerful tools: family photography and rhyming text. Research shows that when children are exposed to photographs of their loved ones, it helps reinforce their sense of identity, belonging, and emotional security. At the same time, rhyming language plays a key role in early literacy—helping children recognize sound patterns, anticipate words, and develop phonemic awareness, all of which are foundational for reading readiness. Our stories are more than just sweet keepsakes—they’re designed to nurture language development, strengthen emotional bonds, and support social-emotional growth during the critical early years. By pairing personal imagery with language rhythm and repetition, Stareworthy books create a rich, memorable reading experience that helps young children learn while feeling deeply connected to their world.

Are my smartphone images high enough quality to print?

Expand Arrow

Yes! Most modern smartphones capture high-resolution images that are perfect for your Stareworthy book. We’ve personally tested hundreds of smartphone photos—even in our largest book sizes—and they print beautifully. That said, a few things can impact print quality. Learn more about image quality here.

How durable are the books?

Expand Arrow

Our Layflat binding uses ultra-thick, tear-resistant paper that’s been dubbed “indestructible to toddlers” by our customers. If you prefer, we also offer a durable, budget-friendly traditional hardcover option.

How long does it take to receive my book?

Expand Arrow

Typically, our books take about 1-2 weeks to craft and deliver, depending on the chosen shipping method. Production time for our books is 3-5 business days. After your book is printed and bound, it will be shipped using your chosen shipping speed. Around high-traffic times (like Holiday seasons), it may take more time for production and delivery.

Capture Your Memories Today

Your family’s moments deserve to be celebrated and preserved. There’s no better time to transform those cherished photos into a meaningful keepsake your children will treasure forever. From milestones to everyday moments, create something that tells your story and keeps memories alive for generations to come.
