Even cooler: Sara Blakely of Spanx fame had purchased a book a few weeks prior.

It's a thrill knowing that people like our photo-personalized book for kids. The Octopus Book lets you include your child's name and photo into the book - magically transforming your child into the star of the story.

I wrote the book while on maternity leave with my baby daughter (i.e. in between feedings, diaper changes and while sleep deprived!). I really wanted to combine a family-positive story with our favorite family photos. We worked really hard to make Mini Me's different; it's the
- 1st personalized story book in North America to include photos of child and adults
- 1st personalized story book in the world to let you choose from 3 options:
1. Personalized Text only

- 1st personalized book to be hand-made in Canada on eco-friendly paper (FSC-certified)

Thanks, Donny & the Big Idea Team!!
