The Magic of AI Storytelling

Creating a children's book used to take months of writing and expensive hiring of illustrators. With AI, you can generate heartwarming stories and consistent, studio-quality artwork in a single afternoon.

Pro Tip: Consistency is key. Our AI tool ensures your main character looks the same on Page 1 as they do on Page 20—a crucial feature for professional books.

Step-by-Step: Creating Your Story Book

1

Choose a theme and art style

Decide on the core message (e.g., "Overcoming Fear of the Dark") and the visual vibe. You can select styles like "Watercolor," "Disney-Pixar 3D," or "Vintage Hand-Drawn."

2

Review story outline

The AI will generate a scene-by-scene outline. Review the plot points to ensure the story flows logically and has a satisfying ending before generating full text.

3

Generate images with AI

Click "Generate." Our specialized Story Engine creates the illustrations for each scene. It remembers character details (like "blue hat," "red scarf") to maintain consistency.

4

Select pages and choose a page layout

Assemble your book. Choose from various layouts, such as full-page bleed images with text overlay, or traditional picture book layouts with text on one side and art on the other.
