Leo and the Starry Voyage
Mia and the Moonlit Forest
From a photo to a fairy tale
One photo, and your child becomes the hero of a book: a recognizable face, your favorite art style and their own story on every page.
PhotoFairy tale
Mia and the Christmas Star
Mia carefully rolled out the dough and cut the first star. Suddenly a golden spark flickered above the baking tray. “There you are!” Mia beamed. “I'll help you get back to the Christmas tree!”
Turn a photo into a story
Example: the child and the story are made up, the face was drawn by AI.
Take a peek inside a story
This is the reader: a picture, the text and a voice. On a phone the pages scroll; on a tablet or in landscape they open as a spread.
Once upon a time there was a girl named Mia. Every evening, when the sky turned lilac, she went to the window and waited for the first star to light up.

A story that helps you talk about what matters
You decide what the story teaches. A hero who looks like your child gently reaches the right conclusion — no lecturing, no pressure. Pick a common situation or describe your own.
Won't sleep alone
A story about how cozy your own bed can be
Afraid of the dark
The hero meets the night and finds out it's friendly
Hates brushing teeth
The toothbrush turns into a magical helper
Leaves toys everywhere
The toys come alive and ask to go back home
Fights with a sibling
Two heroes argue — and find a way to make up
Nervous about school
A new place turns out to be full of friends
It's a kind way to start a conversation with your child, not therapy and not a substitute for a professional.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free to create a story?＋
Yes. Fill in a short questionnaire and you'll get the cover, the full text of the story and the first illustrated pages with narration for free. If you love it, unlock the rest and we'll illustrate every page of the story you've already read.
How long does it take?＋
A mini story is ready in a couple of minutes. A big story takes a little longer because it has more pages and we design the characters first. You'll see the progress as it goes.
Do I need to upload a photo?＋
No. With a photo, the hero in the illustrations will look like your child. Without one, we draw the hero from your description: age, eye and hair color, outfit.
What happens to my child's photo?＋
It's resized and stripped of metadata right in your browser before upload. It's only sent to the image model if you tick a separate box, and it's deleted from our server as soon as the hero is created.
Which languages are available?＋
English, German and Spanish. The story text and the narration are created in the language of the site you're on, and you can switch languages at the bottom of any page.
Can I change the story?＋
Big stories come with an editor: you can regenerate the illustration or the text of any page. The number of edits depends on the plan.
Is this a subscription?＋
No. You pay once per story, and it stays in your account. The PDF and the video are yours to download and keep.
