How one photo becomes a hero

A real example, not an artist's impression: a phone snapshot, the hero built from it, and a spread from the book. The same child at all three steps.

  1. A photo from your phone1

    A photo from your phone

    An ordinary snapshot — the one already in your gallery.

  2. The storybook hero2

    The storybook hero

    The face, the hair, the gaze — even the expression — stay theirs. Only the world around them changes.

  3. A spread from the book3

    A spread from the book

    The hero steps into the story — and stays themselves to the last page.

How it works

You fill in three steps, the fourth is on us

  1. Choose a book or a cartoon

    A book, a cartoon or both. You pick the story here too.

    ≈ 2 min

  2. Tell us about your child and upload a photo

    Name, age and what they love. One ordinary phone photo is enough.

    ≈ 3 min

  3. Look at the hero and approve them

    We show three versions of the hero. You keep the one that looks like your child.

    ≈ 1 min

  4. Get the finished story

    We build the rest ourselves — no waiting at the screen. We'll email you the link.

Filling it in takes about 6 minutes — the rest is on our side.

The book is ready 5–15 minutes after payment, the cartoon in 15–35.

“Mum, that's me!”

That second is the whole point. A child opens the book and sees themselves on the cover: their hair, their eyes, their name on the first line. From then on they are not listening to the story — they are living in it.

The hero keeps their face on every page

The usual trouble with AI books: by page three the child suddenly doesn't look like themselves. We generate every illustration from the avatar you approved, so the hero stays recognisable from cover to final page.

Not just a tale — a little help for parents

Every story has a purpose: habits, emotions, courage, curiosity

  • ages 7–9Courage

    The Archive of Unfinished Wonders

    In an archive where stories finish themselves, three endings go missing. Alice picks the first replacement too fast — and the real work turns out to be owning that.

  • ages 7–9Friendship

    The Agreement of the Floating Islands

    Two floating islands need the same wind bridge at the same hour, and both are right. Alice has to build a schedule both sides will sign, instead of naming a winner.

  • ages 7–9Courage

    The Dream Keepers' Academy

    At the Dream Keepers' Academy Alice is ready for a first solo crossing, but a younger apprentice, Nil, freezes with fear at the threshold. To give Nil courage, Alice gives up that crossing — and walks through her own fear of the dream's dark.

  • ages 7–9Friendship

    The Secret of the Mechanical Dragons

    In a city of workshops a team of friends spent a year building a great mechanical dragon. When the launch is moved earlier, Alice tries to do everything alone — and learns that what lifts a dragon is not one person but shared roles and trust.

  • ages 7–9Emotions

    The Labyrinth of Musical Doors

    The labyrinth charter says pick one door of each pair — hushed or loud — but Alice's melody starts as a whisper and ends as thunder. Alice stubbornly refuses to sacrifice half, invents a third way — taking turns in the melody's own rhythm — and wins the right to be heard.

  • ages 7–9Emotions

    The Carnival of Lost Shadows

    At the shadow carnival the shadows suddenly tangle, and Vesta blames Alice in front of everyone. Blushing to burning cheeks, Alice finds the cause in her own lantern — and instead of keeping quiet, admits the mistake before the whole square. The mistake becomes the best act of the carnival, and the quarrel ends in shared laughter.

One tale, three formats

Choose what to give: the book, the cartoon, or both. The hero is the same in every format.

  • Uploaded photos are automatically deleted after 7 days
  • The “delete everything” button erases photos and avatars instantly

What if you don't like it

Answers to what people ask before paying.

The character doesn't look like my child
Before payment we show three versions of the hero. If none of them look right, tell us what's off and we'll draw a new set — free of charge.
How many revisions the price includes
The hero can be redrawn once for free: the first generation plus one replacement. Scenes that failed to render are redrawn with a button on the book page — no extra charge and no cap on attempts.
Can I replace the photo
Yes, until the hero is chosen. The “Replace” button on the photo step takes a new picture; the hero attempts stay the same ones.
When full production starts
Full production starts only after payment. Before that we build a free preview: hero options, the cover and the first spreads — and for the cartoon, a storyboard and a short teaser.
Is a refund possible
A paid order can be refunded: the “Request a refund” button on the order page, within 14 days of payment. A human reviews each request.
What is not treated as a defect
A defect is a file that won't open, missing pages or scenes, the wrong name, gender or language, a cartoon with no narration or a scene cut short. We fix that free of charge — tell us and we'll rebuild it. Not a defect is what you saw and approved before paying. The hero resembles your child but stays a drawn character rather than a portrait, and looks slightly different from spread to spread, as in any illustrated book. The illustration style is the same across the whole catalogue, and you see it on the cover and first spreads before ordering. You choose the story yourself and read its full description. The hero is drawn from a single photograph, and its suitability decides the likeness. That is why we ask for a shot where the child looks into the camera and the whole face is visible: the requirement is stated at the upload step, and you confirm it before sending the file. If a photo is sent against that requirement — the child shot from the side, from behind, with the head turned away or the face covered — we do not guarantee the likeness. This takes nothing away from the free hero re-draw before payment or from your refund rights: before paying you see three versions of the hero and may reject all of them. All of that is free before payment: three hero options, one replacement, the cover and the first spreads with real illustrations. Payment starts production of the rest — from that minute the work is being done and its cost has been incurred.
