Kiddo — Personalized Illustrated Children’s Books

Write your storybook, page by page

the path so far

How a Kiddo book gets made

Three small steps. A short wait while it paints. A whole lifetime of bedtimes.

01

Write your story

A sentence or a whole adventure, in your own words. Kiddo illustrates exactly what you write, it doesn’t write the story for you.

02

Shape it at two checkpoints

Before a single page is painted, you review the scenes and meet the characters Kiddo found in your story, and change anything that isn’t quite right.

03

Watch it come to life

Kiddo lays out your words and illustrates every page. Preview the whole book free; $9.99 unlocks the print-ready export — interior and cover PDF, ready for Amazon KDP.

A book in your words

You write the story. Kiddo illustrates every page and keeps your characters looking the same throughout.

Pick the art style

Gouache storybook, soft watercolor, animated movie, ink & wash, or folk art. Five to choose from.

In their language

English, Hebrew, Spanish, French, Arabic, and more. The same story in any of nine languages.

A dedication that lasts

A handwritten note from you, on the inside cover, every time.

a few quiet questions

Good to know before you start

What is Kiddo?

Kiddo is an AI illustrator for the stories you write. You bring the story, in your own words; Kiddo splits your text into pages, draws the characters it finds in it, and illustrates every page in the art style you pick. Kiddo doesn’t write the story, that part is all you. It’s free to start with no signup, and you preview the whole book before you unlock the print-ready export.

How do I make a personalized children’s book?

You write your story, then review it at two checkpoints before it’s illustrated: the Storyboard (how your words fall across the pages) and the CastCall (the characters Kiddo pulled from your text). Once you approve, Kiddo illustrates every page, ready to read the same evening.

Is Kiddo free?

Making and previewing a Kiddo book is free, and you don’t need an account or a credit card to start. You only pay when you’re ready to publish: $9.99 unlocks the print-ready export — an interior and cover PDF built to Amazon KDP specs, which you can re-download anytime. Your credit never expires, and Kiddo never touches your KDP account. Checkout is handled securely through Polar.

What if I don’t love how it turns out?

You stay in control before anything is final: at the two checkpoints you can edit the scenes and refine the characters, and you preview the entire finished book for free. You only pay the $9.99 when you’re ready to unlock the print-ready export, so there’s nothing to lose by trying.

What art styles can my book use?

Kiddo offers five illustration styles: Gouache Storybook (the default), Soft Watercolor, Animated Movie, Ink & Wash, and Folk Art. You pick the style when you create the story, and every page is painted in that style.

Can Kiddo make books in Hebrew or other languages?

Yes. Kiddo supports nine languages: English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian. Hebrew and Arabic are fully right-to-left, with text and layout mirrored correctly throughout the book.

Is the book about my child?

It’s a book made for your child, not necessarily one about them. The characters come from whatever you write, so if you put your child into the story, they appear, drawn the same on every page. Either way it’s a one-of-a-kind book in your own words, made for them, with an optional dedication on the opening page.

Your child's first favorite book starts with one story idea.

Free to create and preview every page. $9.99 unlocks the print-ready export — an interior and cover PDF, ready for Amazon KDP.
