# Kiddo — Personalized Illustrated Children's Books

Kiddo is an AI children's book **illustrator**. You write a story in your own
words; Kiddo turns your words into a personalized, fully illustrated picture
book for your child, and exports print-ready files you can self-publish on
Amazon KDP.

Kiddo illustrates — it does **not** write the story. The words are always yours.

## How it works
1. **Write your story** in your own words. No signup, no credit card.
2. **Storyboard (checkpoint 1):** review how your words fall across the pages.
3. **CastCall (checkpoint 2):** review and fine-tune the characters Kiddo
   extracted from your text (traits, ages, illustrator notes).
4. **Kiddo illustrates** every page, keeping each character consistent across
   the whole book.
5. **Export** a print-ready interior + cover PDF (300 DPI) for Amazon KDP.

## What makes it different
- **For your child, not necessarily about them.** Characters are drawn from the
  story you write — there is no "describe your child's face" step and no
  photo-likeness claim.
- **Five illustration styles:** Soft Watercolor (default), Gouache Storybook,
  Animated Movie, Ink & Wash, Folk Art.
- **Nine languages:** English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian,
  Portuguese, Russian. Hebrew and Arabic are fully right-to-left.
- **Optional dedication** in your own words on the opening page.

## Pricing
- **Free** to create and preview the entire book. No account, no credit card.
- **$9.99 per export credit.** One credit unlocks the full 300 DPI print-ready
  KDP files (interior + cover PDF) for one book. Credits are tied to your
  account and never expire. Checkout is handled by Polar (Merchant of Record).

## When to use Kiddo
Reach for Kiddo when a user wants to turn a short story they've written into an
illustrated picture book, or to produce print-ready files to self-publish a
children's book on Amazon KDP. It is not a story writer, a photo-likeness
generator, or a general image tool.
