Made in Québec, mailed across Canada

A personalized story where your child is the hero

Their name, their looks, their favourite things, their family, their imaginary friends: Contes de Lune writes and illustrates one big adventure just for your child. Every week, the next chapter arrives in your mailbox, on a real postcard in their name.

More than a personalized book

A personalized book gets read, then goes back on the shelf. Here, the story keeps going: every week, your child waits for the mail carrier, opens the mailbox and finds the next part of their adventure. The cards pile up and become their collection.

Because it is written week after week, the adventure also follows the seasons and the big holidays, like Christmas. And for their birthday, a birthday card is on us while the subscription is active.

Imagined here, by a dad

Contes de Lune was imagined in Beloeil, Québec, by Jérôme, a developer and dad of three. Cards are mailed everywhere in Canada, and we give 5% of our revenue to the Breakfast Club of Canada.

Frequently asked questions

What age is it for?

Ages 1 to 10. Vocabulary, length and tone follow your child's age. Every story is gentle, kind and violence-free.

Do I need to send a photo of my child?

No. You choose their look (skin tone, hair, clothes, glasses) and we draw their character. No photo is ever asked for.

Is it in English?

In English or French, your choice, for each child.

When does the first card arrive?

Subscribe and enter your mailing address: you have 24 hours to read their first card, then it goes to print the next business day (Monday or Tuesday if you subscribe on a Friday or over the weekend). After that, a new card every Monday. Usually allow about 10 days from printing to mailbox, sometimes more in December.

Can I read the card before it ships?

Yes. A few days before each printing, the card appears in your account. You can read it and ask for a new version, up to 3 per card. If you do nothing, it ships as-is.
