A story that's yours alone, to keep forever
Personalised children's books with watercolour-style illustrations - made to celebrate the most special relationships and moments in your life.
What is Enlevo
Enlevo makes personalised children's books, where your child becomes the main character of a true story: yours.Choose the relationship you want to celebrate - father and child, grandparent and grandchild, best friends, or even a beloved pet. Based on the photos and details you share with me, I create watercolour-style illustrations and write your story, page by page.
How it works
I create your first draft
I turn your story into fully illustrated pages and a text written especially for you.
Review and approve
You will see the first draft of the book and can request changes until it is exactly right.
Every book is unique
No two books are ever the same - each one is created entirely from scratch.Every character and every scene is unique, just like the people and memories that inspire them. I add the small details that make each story feel truly personal: a favourite piece of clothing, the toy that never leaves your child's side.The book text is available in Portuguese or English - you will choose your preferred language in the order form.
Father and Son
This story is about a father who turns ordinary days into the greatest adventures: weekend training sessions where his son is lifted like a barbell, swimming lessons where he cheers him on as he learns to swim, and late afternoons watching Benfica together.
A day with Grandma
This book is a tribute to the simple days that stay with us forever. The story follows a day with grandma Sandy, filled with little moments: grandmother and grandson playing the djembe together, an afternoon nap side by side, a snack of her favourite homemade porridge, and a tender goodbye.
First family Christmas holiday
This family of three's very first holiday together, to an incredible destination - Lapland. The story captures the most special memories: little Vasco seeing snow for the first time, a family visit to Santa Claus, sleigh rides, and building their very first snowman.
Who creates your stories
I am Jeni, the creator of Enlevo and the person behind every story.Enlevo was born on Father's Day. I wanted to give my partner a gift with real meaning, not another object just like so many others.We love reading with our baby, and I remember thinking how amazing it would be to read him a story where he and his dad were the main characters. After searching, without success, for a fully personalised solution, I decided to take on the challenge and create the book myself.Seeing my partner so moved (which doesn't happen very often!) and watching our baby's reaction - pointing at the pages, recognising his dad, recognising himself - was incredible. That's when I realised I wanted to do the same for other families.
Testimonials

"We relive our trip to Lapland almost every night. Vasco can't get enough of it! It's like having a moment frozen in time, forever."
