What do you do with my data? Do you need a photo of my child?

No, we never ask for a photo. A name and a few things about who your child is, that's enough to make a story they recognise themselves in. We only ask for what we need to make the story. If you want to know exactly how we handle your data, you can read that on our privacy page.

Is everything checked before my child reads it?

Yes. Every story goes through a safety check for age-suitability and for scary or unsuitable content, and the illustrations are automatically checked for unsuitable imagery. Nothing is printed without a person having looked the book over. And you read the whole story free yourself before you order anything.

Are the illustrations hand-drawn?

No, the illustrations are made with AI, with your child recognisable as the main character. A person then checks them before the book goes to the printer. That way the quality stays looked after, without pretending there's an illustrator at the table.

AI writing a book for your child sounds cold. With us it's made for this child

Maybe you're not sure: AI writing a book for my child, isn't that cold, or impersonal? It's a fair question, and you're not the only one asking it.

The short answer: the care and the craft are ours. AI is the engine under the bonnet, not what it's about. We decide how a good story for a five-year-old should sound, how the theme that's alive right now falls into place, and where the line is. The technology does the heavy lifting; we keep our hands on the wheel.

And it's not a stock story with your child's name pasted in. The story is built around this child: the age, the theme that's alive right now, the name, and the people and things that matter. You don't need a photo for it, a name is enough.

Before anything reaches your child, a person checks it. And you read the whole story free on your screen before you order anything.

Why it isn't a stock story

Most stories you make online are one fixed tale with only a name swapped in. Every child gets the same adventure, with a different name on the cover.

With us the story starts with your child, not with a template. Before there's a single sentence, the story tunes itself to the age, to the theme that's alive right now, and to your child's own world: little brother Tim, dog Boris, the street they live on. Behind the scenes we use different AI models, each for what it's good at: writing the story, keeping the thread, and illustrating.

That's why your child recognises themselves, not as a name in the story, but as the main character of this story. The meaning comes out of the story itself, not as a lesson tacked on at the end.

What a person checks

Every story goes through a safety check: does it suit the age, and is there nothing scary or unsuitable in it.
The illustrations are automatically checked for unsuitable imagery too.
Nothing is printed without a person having looked the book over.
You never need a photo of your child, and you read the whole story free before you order anything.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't a story made by AI impersonal?: That depends on how it's made. A stock story with a name dropped in does feel empty. With us the story is built around this child: the age, the theme that's alive right now, the name, and their own world. That's why your child recognises themselves, rather than a story that happens to carry their name.
