What happens when something special is lost or broken?

One sunny afternoon, Leo is having the best flying adventure ever with his favorite paper airplane. It loops through the air, swoops around the room… until one unexpected crash leaves it bent and broken.

Suddenly, everything feels different.

Leo doesn't feel like playing anymore. He doesn't feel like talking. The sadness sits quietly beside him, making his heart feel heavy.

With Sara's gentle encouragement, Leo begins remembering all the wonderful adventures they shared with the little airplane. Together, they discover that although some things can't be fixed, the happy memories we keep inside our hearts never disappear.

Written in a warm and engaging style, this beautifully illustrated picture book helps children understand sadness, cope with disappointment and loss, and discover healthy ways to find comfort through connection, gratitude, and cherished memories.

At the end of the story, children are invited to create their own Memory Airplane activity, drawing happy memories and thinking about the people, places, and moments that help their hearts feel a little lighter when they feel sad.

Perfect for children ages 3–6 who are learning about:

  • Sadness and disappointment
  • Coping with loss and change
  • Emotional resilience
  • Remembering happy moments
  • Gratitude and positive memories
  • Emotional awareness
  • Social-emotional learning
  • Family connection and empathy

Part of the Leo & Sara's Big Feelings Series, inspired by the author's real-life twin children and the everyday moments that help families grow, connect, and understand emotions together.

A comforting story for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and children, reminding us that everyone feels sad sometimes—and that love, memories, and shared moments can help our hearts feel lighter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see my personalised book before it is printed?

Before you pay, you’ll see a preview so you can check how your child looks in the personalised illustrations. Once you’re happy with the preview, the full book is generated, and the finished illustrations go through a quality check. Our specialist manually reviews the images to make sure they are high quality and maintain your child’s likeness.

Once the book has been reviewed, the finished book in PDF format will be sent to the email address you provided when placing your order.

What if my child doesn’t look quite like themselves?

Our technology is constantly improving. If your child doesn’t look quite like themselves in the preview, try regenerating the illustrations or uploading a different photo.

Please note that LESARI illustrations are an artistic interpretation of your child’s appearance, not a photographic representation.

Can I get a refund for my order?

As each book is created specifically for your child, personalised products are not eligible for the standard right of return under EU law. However, every situation is considered individually, and the possibility of cancelling an order or receiving a refund may depend on the reason for your request and the stage of order processing. Please contact us as soon as possible at [email protected] so we can review your situation.

See our Returns and Refunds policy

Can you deliver the book to me?

Yes. We work with printing and delivery partners in countries around the world, allowing us to deliver personalised books to more than 200 countries and regions. You’ll see the availability and shipping cost for your address at checkout.

What languages are the books available in?

LESARI books are currently available in English and Spanish. We are constantly working to add more languages so that our books can be enjoyed by even more families.

How can I contact customer support?

If you have a question or need help with your order, you can contact us through our support form or email us at [email protected]. We’ll do our best to help you as soon as possible.

How do you protect my child’s photos and data?

Your child’s photo is used exclusively to create their personalised book and is deleted automatically within 30 days of upload.

We do not use children’s photos for advertising, marketing, profiling, or training publicly available artificial intelligence models.

The photo is processed automatically on secure servers operated by our technology partners, who act solely on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

Access to the data is limited to employees who need it to process your order. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. You can request the earlier deletion of your child’s data at any time by contacting us at [email protected], and we will delete it within 30 days.

Can I print the book myself?

Yes, you can order only the digital version of the book in PDF format and print it yourself at any print shop or photo studio near you. This is convenient if you prefer to choose where to print the book or use a service close to home.

How do I personalise the book?

Creating a personalised book for your child is easy: upload their photo, enter their name and age, and they’ll become the main character of their own story. You’ll be able to see a preview and review the result before paying. If you’re not happy with the result the first time, don’t worry — you can try again or upload a different photo. We want you to receive a book that you and your child will truly love.
