Made by a dad, for parents
Paper Sloth Studio is a small family business. I design every book and its pages myself, and each one is tested by two very honest reviewers: my daughters. Our sleepy sloth is here for the parents who'd love a calm flight and a trip their kids will remember.

Questions
Before you book
How long does it take?
Every book is made to order. Current turnaround times for the PDF and the printed book are shown on each Etsy listing. Printed books need time to print and ship, so order a few weeks before you leave.
What should I double-check when ordering?
Your child's name, age group and destination. We make the book exactly as you type it in the personalization box, so check the spelling before you place your order.
Which destinations can I choose?
Wherever your family is going: a city, a beach, grandma's town. Personalized books are made for your exact destination. Ready-made city editions, starting with Nice, are on the way.
How are the books made?
I design every book and its page layouts myself. The illustrations are created with AI image tools, guided by my own character designs, then checked and assembled by hand.
What happens to my child's photo?
For the photo edition only, we use the photo to draw your child's character and nothing else. It is deleted within 30 days of delivery and never reused.
Can I return a book?
Because each book is made for one child, we can't take returns for a change of mind. If your printed book arrives damaged or misprinted, email us within 30 days of delivery and we'll send a free replacement or a full refund, no need to send it back.
If a PDF has an error we made or won't open, we'll fix it and resend it right away.
