Upload a photo and see the first eight illustrated pages free. When you love it, turn the complete story into a printed keepsake your family can hold onto.
No credit card required · Made safe for families
Snap a picture of your kid (and the rest of the cast — siblings, parents, even the dog). We turn them into a consistent cartoon character.
Choose from birthday adventures, bedtime journeys, first day of school, losing a tooth — or write your own prompt.
Download the eBook, listen to the audiobook, or order a real printed keepsake to hold. Your characters stay saved in your library while your account is active.
For younger children, keep the story simple, warm, and familiar: bedtime journeys, birthdays, pets, grandparents, first days, and small adventures with a recognizable hero.
Starring My Kid is made for adult gift-givers creating family-safe stories, not for children to use directly.
We write the full 18-page story first, then illustrate the opening pages so you can decide if it is a keeper.
Record a one-minute sample, and every book can be read aloud in your voice. Grandparents across the country can gift a book that really sounds like them.
Add a parent or grandparent voice clone when you want the audiobook to sound like home. A clear 60-second sample is all it takes.
Professional narrator voices are included with completed books.
Parent and grandparent voice cloning is available as an add-on.
These are real outputs from the book you can open below—not stock mockups or a customer testimonial.
