"One favorite stuffie, two muddy boots — it counts the things my daughter already names all day, so she points along and shouts the numbers. Perfect first-numbers book."

Inside the story
Inside Counting With You
First numbers take shape from the things they already point at and name: one favorite stuffie, two muddy boots, three noisy trucks, and on through their world.
Every number builds on the last.
Familiar objects gather across playful spreads, inviting pointing, naming, and repeating at a pace suited to their age.
ACT II · MORE TO COUNT
The numbers finally click.
By the end, counting feels less like a lesson and more like a story of their world they want to revisit.
ACT III · IT CLICKS
No two counting books match—their toys, snacks, animals, and daily routines decide what fills every number.

The details
Questions about Counting With You
How their familiar objects become a counting story, what you can include, and what happens before printing.
We build counting scenes from details they already notice and name in daily life. Their favorite objects, foods, animals, and places become repeated number moments across the book. One treasured stuffie can open the count. Two muddy boots might lead the next spread. Three toy trucks could drive another scene. Their visual preferences and routines guide which details feel most engaging and easy to count together. This is not a finished story with their name inserted. The story, characters, scenes, illustrations, and personal details are created from one family's brief for one recipient, making their exact book one-of-one.
Counting With You is personalized for children ages 1–6. We adapt the writing to the recipient's age and reading stage. Younger children receive fewer words per page, shorter sentences, repetition, and a simpler story rhythm. Older children receive richer vocabulary, more story detail, and longer passages. The premise remains the same, but the language, pacing, sentence structure, and amount of text are adjusted to feel right for the child it is made for. It is ideal for early number learning, especially for children who enjoy pointing, naming, and repeating patterns aloud.
The book moves through first-number scenes where counting is tied to familiar, meaningful details from their life. Instead of abstract numbers alone, each spread invites visual discovery and repetition through objects they care about. The pacing stays playful and age-sensitive, balancing clarity with delight. Because the scenes are personalized, counting feels less like a drill and more like a story they naturally want to revisit.
Include countable favorites from their everyday world: toys, shoes, snacks, animals, vehicles, family routines, places, and phrases. One red scooter can anchor an opening number. Two pancake stacks might become a breakfast count. Three bath toys can fill a water scene. Concrete details make the numbers easier to track and help each spread feel like their own world.
Yes. Siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, pets, and even favorite stuffed animals can be woven into the story when they matter to the recipient. We use the strongest details naturally, so the book feels like a real story rather than a list of names. Family members and pets can appear as part of countable scenes when they support the number moment naturally.
We create their illustrated character from the photographs you upload, using recognizable details such as their hair, skin tone, facial features, and overall appearance. The result is a storybook interpretation of them—not a photograph pasted into the artwork.
Upload clear, recent photographs where their face, hair, and important features are easy to see. Natural light, front-facing views, and a few different angles work best. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses, distant photographs, screenshots, or images where their face is covered.
Every Sundayfawn is protected by our love-it guarantee. If your book does not feel right, contact us and we'll make it right or refund your order.
Your order includes: • An 8.5″ × 11″ hardcover storybook • A matte case-wrap cover • 38 full-colour pages • Premium 80 lb coated paper • The complete digital edition • A two-page photo keepsake featuring up to six real photographs of the people, pets, and memories behind the story.
Your complete digital edition is typically created in about twenty minutes. Once approved, the hardcover is prepared and ships within seven days. Delivery time after shipment depends on the destination and shipping method selected at checkout.
