How the printed book works

You don't have to write every day to end up with a book. Whenever you're ready, Dear You turns whatever you've saved into a printed keepsake — built from your entries, in a few taps.

Printed books are launching soon.

From entries to a book, in four steps

  1. 1

    Pick your date range

    Every memory you've saved lives in your child's journal. Choose the stretch of time you want in the book — a month, a year, or everything you've got.

  2. 2

    Choose a cover and title

    Pick a cover image and give the book a title.

  3. 3

    It fills itself in

    The book auto-populates with every memory saved in that date range — no copying and pasting, no rebuilding it by hand.

  4. 4

    Add anything extra

    Want more in the book than what's already logged? Add pages for extra photos or stories before you order.

Choose your format

  • Two sizes: Small Landscape (9 x 7 in) or Regular (11.69 x 8.27 in)
  • Softcover or hardcover, on either size
  • Page count is up to you — 24 pages minimum, no maximum
