What these guides answer
Pick a hub before you pick a page. If the occasion is December, start with the Christmas hub and then the giver: a parent, a grandparent, a household, a pet, or a dedication you want to sign as Santa. If the occasion is a new baby and an older child, start with the sibling hub. If you are matching a birthday age, start with the age hub and read the age-range warning before you trust the headline.
Nothing here is the homepage, and nothing here is the potty-training book. Each guide starts a real book: the holiday story for Christmas, the birthday story for the age guides, the new baby story for the baby guide, and the sibling story for the sibling guides. Names, ages, and pets typed into a guide address stay on that guide as display labels.
A guide under 400 words or too close to its neighbor fails the build. That is why each page says plainly what its pictures show. When a guide's topic and the pictures disagree, we tell you what the story really does. The Christmas pages are not a dog book. The nursery pages are not a hospital book. The birthday pages are not a board book for a one-year-old. The newborn pages sit next to a book that starts at age 3.
Gift guides do not print Christmas order-by dates. Those dates stay on the pricing page until a separate gift flag is turned on. While that flag is off, the guides point at production time instead of inventing a December deadline.
Format, price, and timing
The cards under each guide are the live book totals. This index does not print a December deadline. When you need a postal copy, open Pricing for production time and the speed you will actually choose.

Questions
How many example books are there?
Four: one for Christmas, one for siblings, one for the birthday ages, and one for babies. Twenty guides reuse those books with different spreads and different jobs.
Will a query string create another page?
No. A name, age, or pet added to the link only changes the caption shown here. The canonical URL is the bare guide, so those variants are not separate indexed pages.
Where do I start the order?
Start from the guide. The Christmas guides start the holiday story. The baby guide starts the new baby story. The sibling guides start the sibling story. The birthday guides start the birthday story. You type the child's details when you make the story. A name added to the link only changes a caption.
