First Time Books

FirstTimeBooks.com is a one-of-a-kind personalized children's book company, and a leader in its industry. We offer a variety of children's books that can be customized to represent the characteristics of a child, such as name, ethnicity, gender, and hair color. Unlike other personalized children's books that only customize the name, First Time Books offers significant personalization of its products. The child who receives the book will love seeing himself or herself in the storyline, which has a positive impact on a child's development, and makes reading more enjoyable. First Time Books offers over ten products, including a zoo children's book, a potty training book, an ABC book, a birthday book, a Halloween book, a Christmas book, and more! First Time Books also serves as a publisher, and helps aspiring authors create, publish, market, and sell their own personalized children's books through our proprietary self-publish capabilities. This reduces significant barriers for authors and illustrators who may face high capital costs and roadblocks, and helps them achieve their career dreams. A Chicago-based company with national and international reach, First Time Books was founded in 2007 by John Burke and Chad Kase, who have over 20 years of experience in the printing industry. John was struggling to potty train his daughter, so he and Chad created the idea of a personalized potty training book. Within days, John's daughter took to potty training!
