Write my book: a simple way to create personalized children's stories

Tell the platform who the child is, what kind of adventure they should have, and who else should appear. The AI writes a full 18-page story, then illustrates the opening pages for your free preview.

Why write a personalized book for your child

Children who see themselves as the hero of a story develop stronger reading habits, more confidence, and a deeper connection to books as a format. A personalized story has a reach that a generic book cannot.

How to write your child's story in 3 easy steps

Step 1: upload a photo to create the character. Step 2: choose a theme or write your own prompt describing the story. Step 3: review the free illustrated preview and unlock the full book when you are satisfied.

Personalization options: make the story uniquely yours

You can specify the child's name, age, personality, and story details in the prompt. Add siblings, parents, grandparents, or pets as co-stars. Choose the art style that matches the child's taste.

Common questions

How do I write a personalized book for my child?

Upload a photo, then describe the story you want in the prompt field — character details, theme, and any co-stars. The platform writes and illustrates it from there.

What if I'm not a good writer — can I still create a book?

Yes. Even a short description ("a birthday adventure for a 5-year-old who loves dinosaurs") is enough for the AI to write a full story.

Can I customize the character to look like my child?

Yes. The uploaded photo is used to generate a cartoon character that appears consistently across the cover and story pages.

How much does it cost to write a custom children's book?

The story and illustrated preview are free. Completing the full digital book costs $14.99; a printed copy starts at $24.95 plus shipping.
