Their first year, in a real book.
Thousands of photos on your phone and no time to sort them. Pizan puts the firsts in order, month by month; you add a sentence when you can, the grandparents add their photos, and the book is ready for the first candle.

Jules's book
The first month
The first nights
You slept better on your father's arm than in your brand-new crib. We'd read every book; none of them said you'd get hiccups after every bottle, or that we'd watch you breathe for hours.
Written by Mum, one night at 3 a.m.
8The first year
Before you forget how fast it goes.
Photos, finally sorted
Pizan finds the firsts on your phone and puts them in order, month by month.
One sentence is enough
No time to write? One sentence, dictated at night, and Pizan turns it into a page.
The whole family adds to it
Grandparents and godparents add their own photos of the baby.
For them, later
The book they'll read at ten, at twenty, and show to their own children.
The app
Your book, in your pocket.
Four screens, that's all. Pizan walks you through every step, so you never have to wonder what comes next.

Questions
You might be wondering…
When should I start?
From the maternity ward, or at six months with all the photos so far: Pizan still sorts them by month.
I don't have time to write.
One sentence is enough, out loud. The book can even be just photos and dates.
Can grandparents add their photos?
Yes, with a link, nothing to install.
When should I print it?
For the first birthday, or later: there's no deadline.
Who sees the photos?
You and the people you invite. Nothing becomes public unless you choose.
How much does it cost?
Starting is free. You pay for the printed book when you order it.
