From the first message to a finished book in your child's hands.
Tell us about your child through the contact form, email hello@drbabbysbooks.com, or DM @DrBabbysBooks on Instagram. A few sentences about what's going on is plenty.
If a personalized book is a good fit, Dr. Babby sends you a short questionnaire to get the full picture of what's going on.
You send the completed questionnaire back, pay the $250 fee, and we schedule a 30-minute call with Dr. Babby.
A 30-minute conversation focused on the nuance — your child's voice, the specific challenge the book needs to address, what you hope they take away. Dr. Babby will have read your questionnaire beforehand.
Personalized, evidence-based, and written for your child specifically. Two to three weeks from your call.
We format and print your child's book, then ship a softcover copy directly to your door.

The market is full of generic children's books about big feelings. Dr. Babby's Books are different in every meaningful way.
Abby's book has been incredibly helpful for my son. The practical lessons helped him recognize social cues, build confidence, and navigate friendships more successfully. We've seen noticeable growth in his social skills and self-awareness since reading it. I'm so grateful for this resource and highly recommend it to any parent looking to help their child thrive. Abby has a natural ability to connect with children and the expertise to support it!

A social story is a short, structured narrative that walks a child through a situation, what to expect, and how they can respond. They were developed for children with autism but are now widely used for any child working on emotional regulation, transitions, new experiences, or hard moments. The research is solid — when kids see themselves succeed in a story, they build the script for doing it in real life.
Dr. Babby writes every book personally. She is a licensed child psychologist in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado, and a board-certified behavior analyst. She holds a doctorate in Child, Family, and School Psychology from the University of Denver. No ghostwriters, no AI — just Dr. Babby.
Most personalized children's books swap in a name and a hair color. A Dr. Babby's Book is built around your child's actual situation — the morning routine that's falling apart, the new baby on the way, the grandparent who passed, the classroom transition that's hard. It's written by a child psychologist at your child's reading level. There isn't really a comparable product on the market.
The sweet spot is roughly ages three through twelve, but Dr. Babby adjusts vocabulary, sentence length, and concept complexity to your specific child. If you're unsure where your child lands, just tell us on the questionnaire — Dr. Babby will calibrate.
No. Photos are optional and many families don't send any — the illustrations work beautifully on their own. If you do send photos, Dr. Babby can incorporate them into the artwork to make the book feel even more personal.
Tell us a little about your child. Books are $250 and arrive in 2–3 weeks.
