Your child is the hero of the story
Upload one photo, choose a theme, and we'll illustrate a watercolor storybook where your little one is the star — the same face on every page, read aloud in your own voice.
It’s really her. On every page.
Most “AI” storybooks quietly draw a different child on each page. StoryMine keeps your child’s face consistent from cover to final page — so it reads like a book made by an illustrator who knows them.
The story sounds like you.
Record a short sample once, and every page can be narrated in your voice — so bedtime sounds like home, even on the nights you can’t be there.
Your recording is used only to make your book, and is deleted within 24 hours of delivery. Never used to train anything.
From a photo to a finished book in minutes
Four gentle steps — no design skills, no waiting weeks.
Upload one photo
Add a clear photo of your child (and the family pet, if you like). It's used only to make your book, then deleted.
Choose a theme & name
Pick a watercolor adventure and type your child's name. We write a story made just for them.
We illustrate & narrate
Your child becomes the hero on every page — and the book is read aloud in your own voice.
Preview, then keep it
Flip through your book, download the PDF, or order a printed hardcover keepsake.
Sample books, made for little heroes.
A gift that gets read a hundred times.
Birthdays
Make them the star of their big day.

A treasure to send across the miles.
New sibling

Bedtime, in your voice
For the nights you travel.
Made with care — and kept private.
- Your photos are deleted after your book is made. We use them only to illustrate your story, then remove them within 24 hours.
- Nothing is ever used to train AI. Your child’s face and your voice are yours. Full stop.
- Made by people who proof every book. A human checks each story before it reaches you.
The gift they'll remember
Birthdays, holidays, a new sibling, or just because — a StoryMine book feels like unwrapping something made with love.

Frequently asked questions
Have another question? Email us at [email protected].
Is it really my child on every page?
Yes. StoryMine locks your child's face from a single reference photo so the same character appears consistently across all 12 pages — not a different-looking kid each time. This is the one thing most personalized books can't do.
Can the book be read in my own voice?
Yes. Record or upload a 6–30 second voice sample and StoryMine narrates the whole book in your own voice. Parents and grandparents love this for bedtime — even from far away.
What happens to my child's photo?
Your uploaded photo is used only to create your book and is deleted after the book is generated. We never use it to train AI models.
What do I get, and how much does it cost?
Preview the first 3 pages for free. The full digital book (all 12 pages, PDF + audio) is $19, and a printed hardcover keepsake is $39–59.
How long does it take?
Most books are ready to preview in about five minutes. Hardcover orders are printed and shipped after you order.
What styles can I choose?
Watercolor is available now — a warm, classic picture-book look. More styles (3D cartoon, crayon, Japanese, vintage fairytale, soft bedtime) are coming.
