How it works

1

Upload a photo

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.

2

Pick a story

Choose from birthday adventures, bedtime journeys, first day of school, losing a tooth — or write your own prompt.

3

Read it together

Download the eBook, listen to the audiobook, or order a real hardcover to hold. Your characters live in your library forever.

Personalized baby and toddler books

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.

Start with one free book

Make an 8-page watermarked book first, then upgrade only if you want more styles, characters, audiobook options, or clean exports.

The voice that matters most

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.

It's the feature nobody else in personalized children's books has. And it's included with every Family plan.
