Superleuke ervaring met Fonkle! Ik heb er een persoonlijk boek besteld dat met behulp van AI voor mijn dochter is gemaakt. Het hele proces was ontzettend gebruiksvriendelijk en je kunt werkelijk alles helemaal aanpassen aan je eigen wensen. Het eindresultaat is echt heel persoonlijk en bijzonder geworden. Absoluut een aanrader!

We hebben een boek gemaakt van de zomer 2026 van mijn kleinkindje. Heel blij mee, mooi gedrukt en snel verzonden. De prentjes lijken echt op de personages. Iedereen vindt het schitterend 😃 Moest ik toch één iets als minpuntje zeggen, ik vind het een beetje prijzig.

Why a fonkle book
Make a book in which your child sees themselves go to hospital, with the little suitcase, the favourite cuddly toy, and mum or dad right there. Seeing beforehand what’s going to happen gives a child something to hold on to, and it gives you something to talk about together in the weeks before.
- Your child sees themselves go to hospital in the story, so the unknown becomes a little familiar
- Made from your own photos: at home, packing the little suitcase, the cuddly toy that gets to come
- Something to talk about together, at your own pace and in your own words
- A keepsake afterwards: look, you did this

Frequently asked
Does a book take the fear away?
We don’t promise that, a hospital stay stays scary, for your child and for you. What a book does do: seeing beforehand what’s going to happen gives something to hold on to, and a story in which your child goes to hospital themselves gives you something concrete to talk about together.
How else can I prepare my child?
Ask the hospital for advice. Many hospitals have play specialists who prepare children for a stay or procedure, matched to exactly what’s going to happen. This book is a companion to that, not a replacement.
Which photos do I use, and do I need to share medical details?
Ordinary photos of your child are enough, three is already plenty. If you have photos of the preparations, the suitcase, the cuddly toy that gets to come, a familiarisation visit, they fit in nicely. Medical details aren’t needed: you tell us in everyday words what’s going to happen, and we keep the story light and warm.
Can we make a book after the stay as well?
Yes, that’s lovely too. Then it becomes a keepsake: look, you did this. With photos of the hospital bed, the visitors and coming home, it becomes a story about how brave your child was, to read back together many times.
