The start of something Wonderbly
Everybody’s got an origin story, and we’re no different. In 2013 we made a book to show children just how unique they are. More books than we can count later, we’re on a mission to spread that message to everyone (turns out adults need to hear it just as much as children). Read our story.
Meet David
David spends a lot of his time thinking about how personalisation can make stories more inspiring, empowering and meaningful for children. When he’s not writing books for Wonderbly, he’s probably telling his two dogs to behave themselves.
Discover the much-loved collection
More curious creatures, heaps of magical illustration and empowering messages of kindness – this colourful collection makes any child the star of the show. And the big reveal of their name at the end? It’s the final touch that every storytime needs. Prepare to dazzle.

Perfect gift for little ones! I often order it for when my friends have babies as I feel it’s nice to have something personalised and something that they can keep for when they’re older. Everyone has always said that stories are loved by both the parents and children! I definitely recommend this book :)

My daughter expressed, to me, the pure joy that my 3 year old grandson showed when receiving this book. The quality is excellent, as is the story and illustration. I highly recommend this company! I've been purchasing books from this company for over 8 years and whether you choose paperback or hardcover, you will not be disappointed. There aren't enough words to describe just how much I love these books!

When the first book I ordered arrived, I was pleasantly surprised with its quality. The gift recipient (and her parents) loved it as much as I did, and it quickly became a favorite in their house. In the years since then, I keep finding reasons to come back to buy more books. The little girl who was my first "Little Girl Who Lost Her Name" not long ago was gifted a "Where Are You" book. And there have been more Little Boys and Little Girls in my circle who've lost their name. My most recent purchase was one of the adorable ABC books for a 4-year-old whose current favourite bedtime story is "The Little Boy Who Lost His Name" and I can't wait until I have an occasion to choose another!

Got for my Granddaughter, she loves it! Got one for my Grandson, he is only 2 months old, but I am sure he will love it as much as his sister does.

I was looking for a personal gift for my wife yet something that revolves around our future daughter. My wife loves the book. Baby is still 10 weeks away but she is thrilled to read it to her. Basically I explained on the first page that my wife's name was once lost. Creatures found it and gave her the name "Mary". Now our daughter's name is gone but these creatures will help her find it just like they helped mummy! This will hopefully serve as a unique bond between my daughter and beautiful wife!

Lovely gift and I could choose from a range of characters to Personalise my grandsons book! I chose the special keepsake box and Christmas wrapping and it all arrived beautifully at his door!

Such a beautiful book written in rhyme that is fun to read out loud.

Just read this to my 4 month old son tonight. Although he doesn’t understand exactly what I’m reading to him yet, I can just imagine his excitement as he grows and learns his name! This is a wonderful Children’s book and I recommend it 100% to any parent, grandparent or person in a child’s life. No matter the age, it is a unique story about that child and Their name and it is written so beautifully.

A birthday gift for my nephew, I’m told the quality of the book is great: sturdy, and with beautiful illustrations... he might be too young still but will love it as he grows older. Delighted!

Purchased a couple books for my grandchildren as a Christmas gift. They loved hearing their name read to them! The printing is beautiful and the stories are perfect for their age group. Shipping was very fast! I will definitely purchase from them again.
