Frequently asked questions
Making your book
About twenty minutes to answer the prompts, and around two weeks from the moment you approve your book to it arriving at your door.
No. The prompts do the hard part by asking you specific questions instead of handing you a blank page. Mimos then takes your words and shapes them into a story that flows.
Four to five. Choose photos of the child on their own, with nobody else in the frame, and with their face clear and well lit.

How the book is made
Yes. AI makes creating a book easy and approachable, so the focus stays where it belongs: on your words, your memories and the moment you share. What you end up with is deeply human, a real book in your hands and a connection that lasts.
Yes. If an illustration is not quite right, ask for a different one on that page.
Mimos supports all languages. Select yours from the drop-down menu before you begin your book.
Price and payment
$53 in total, with printing included. Shipping depends on where your book is going and is shown before you pay. No page upsells and no subscription.
$9 when you start, which opens the prompts and gives you a PDF version of your book. The remaining $44 is charged only once you have read your book and approved it.
No. The PDF version of your book is made the moment you finish the prompts, so that work has already happened. If you decide not to go ahead after reading it, you have paid $9 and nothing more.
Yes. Each additional copy of the same book is $53, with printing included. Grandparents often want their own.
