Questions parents ask

How does it work?

Upload one clear photo of your child, add their name, and choose an age, a theme and a story subject. We write a story around them and illustrate your child as the hero on every page. You see the cover for free before you pay.

What do I get and how much is it?

The eBook is $7.99: 13 fully illustrated story pages plus a cover, to read on any device and share by private link. The printed hardcover is $44.99 and includes the eBook.

How fast is it ready?

The free cover takes about a minute. After you order, the full eBook is usually ready within a few minutes and opens right in your browser, with a private link you can save and share. Hardcovers are printed to order.

What photo works best?

A bright, sharp photo where only your child is in the picture and their face is clearly visible, ideally with some of their body too. No sunglasses, hats pulled low, or heavy filters.

Can I change the story or a picture?

Yes. When your eBook is ready you can rewrite the text of any page and ask for any picture to be redrawn.

What happens to my child's photo?

We use it only to illustrate your book. It is stored securely, never used to train AI models, never shared, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Can grandparents, siblings or the family pet join the story?

Yes. Add up to 5 characters, each with their own photo: people, pets, or a favorite toy.
