Questions, answered

As many as you want. Choose the relatives and friends who belong in your child’s story. Each person gets a part; larger stories span multiple volumes, with the complete price shown before you order. Creation is subject to availability.

Yes. Choose ‘I’ll write it myself’ to write your own story from the start, or edit a generated draft. You control the title, dedication, and every scene’s words. We save your text exactly as you write it. Text edits are free; the editor shows the space available on each page. You can write your own words for the guest preview, too.

Share your family's interests, favorite places, and stories. We suggest original plots built around those details, and you choose one, such as a quest, a surprise, or a treasure hunt. Your child shares a moment with each person in the story, perhaps at Grandpa's fishing dock, in Auntie's kitchen, or on the cousins' lake trip. The story ends with everyone together for a hug. You choose a read-aloud voice for ages 3–6, and the words are written for your family. We borrow the feel of read-aloud styles, never the words.

Anyone: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends, teachers, neighbors, and absolutely pets. Each illustrated member needs at least one photo so their character actually looks like them.

Yes, and we treat it with real care. Memorial members get a gentle page of remembrance in plain, honest language: how they're remembered and what they passed down. Never present-tense pretending. You write the context; you approve the page.

The book grows with your cast: a spread per person plus relationship stories and traditions, from 24 pages up to 40. Larger stories split into a multi-volume set. The number of volumes and total price are shown before you order; generation is subject to availability and usage limits.

The secret sauce. Add 'how they met' stories to couples on your tree (the pie contest!) and group traditions (the cousins' summer lake trip). Each becomes its own spread in the journey.

Pick an art style, and our illustration engine turns each person's photos into a consistent storybook character: same face, same charm, page after page. Photos never appear in the printed book; only illustrations do.

Invited members can request a new drawing with feedback such as 'rounder glasses' or 'my red gardening hat.' The character editor shows the remaining redraws, and you can choose an earlier version. Parents hold final approval over the whole cast.

No. Invitations are optional, and you can add photos and details for anyone yourself. Books just get richer when everyone chips in.

Photos are stored privately and sent to the AI processing partners described in our privacy policy to create your book. We do not sell them, share them with advertisers, or train our own AI models on them. Removing an eligible profile queues its photos and character assets for deletion; purchased editions and fulfillment records may need to be retained. See the privacy policy for details and deletion requests.

We use automated checks for age-appropriateness and unkind portrayals. AI can still make mistakes, so review the words and pictures carefully. Nothing prints before you approve your book and place an order.
