Short answer: Color My Classics makes personalized coloring books that star your child as the hero of a classic tale. You upload one portrait photo, and its "Story Makers" draw your child into every page of The Colorful Land of Oz, Adventures in Wonderland or Peter Pan. Each book has 30+ coloring pages with the full story text, and costs $29.99 in softcover or $49.99 in hardcover, with free US shipping.
How it works, step by step
- Choose a story. The Colorful Land of Oz or Adventures in Wonderland (each in girl and boy editions), or Peter Pan. The Jungle Book is coming soon.
- Upload a photo. Use a clear, front-facing headshot in good light with the full face visible and no hat or sunglasses. The hairstyle in the photo is the one drawn in the book. A smartphone photo works.
- Your child becomes the hero. Story Makers turn the likeness into a line-art character and place it in the illustrations throughout the story.
- Pick a format. Glossy softcover ($29.99) for everyday coloring, or matte hardcover ($49.99) as a keepsake.
- Delivery. A digital preview is available right away. The printed book is made to order in 3–5 business days and ships free within the US, with faster options at checkout.

Who it's for
It's aimed at kids ages 4–12 who love classic stories, as a birthday, holiday or "just because" gift. Adults order it for themselves too, and grandparents often color it together with a grandchild. Orders featuring a child must be placed by a parent or legal guardian.
Photo privacy
According to the Color My Classics privacy policy, uploaded photos are permanently deleted right after the artwork is generated. Only the line-art illustration is kept, photos are never used to train AI models, and printing and payment partners don't receive the original photo.
