a book as a goodbye gift for a teacher or the nursery
the last day of school is coming up, or your child is leaving the nursery to start school. after a year together — or several nursery years — the teacher deserves more than a bunch of flowers. make a book from the photos of that year: the school trip, the celebrations, pick-up time. as a goodbye gift from your child, or from the whole class.

frequently asked
we barely have photos of the teacher — can we still do this?
usually, yes. think of photos from the school trip, sports day, celebrations or the class group chat — three photos is already enough. if the teacher isn’t in any of them, make the book about your child and their year in class, and tell us who the gift is for when you make it.
how do we organise it as a whole class?
one parent makes the book and collects a few photos and the best memories of the year via the class group chat. you split the cost with the other parents afterwards. children who are in the photos can appear in the story with their own name.
does this work for nursery or daycare too?
yes, especially there. when your child leaves for school, you’re sometimes closing years of care in one goodbye. photos from the nursery’s parent app are a good starting point — do ask permission if other children are in them.
the last day is soon — am I still in time?
the preview is ready in a few minutes, but printing and delivery take time. you see the current delivery time at checkout. if it won’t arrive before the last day, hand over the preview with a note that the real book is on its way.
