How it works
An AI personalized children’s book is a picture book in which your child is the main character: the story is written around their name, age and favorite things, and every page is illustrated with the same recognizable hero. On ReadKidz you read the finished book on screen within minutes, in 25 languages, and can order it as a printed hardcover.
- 1Tell us about your child
Start with a name or nickname, age, and favorite things. Add the adventure or everyday moment you want to explore.
- 2Shape their story and character
Review the story, choose an illustration style, and define the main character before creating the pages.
- 3Read and make it yours
Read the illustrated book together. Edit the text or revise a page as you work on the story.
What an AI personalized children’s book includes
- What you get
- 10 illustrated pages plus a cover, with your child as the main character on every one of them.
- Written for
- Ages 3-9. You set the reading level and the length before a single page is written.
- How the name is used
- In the story and in the dialogue, not just printed on the cover. What your child likes becomes the plot, not a decoration.
- Who else can be in it
- Brothers, sisters, friends, grandparents and pets can all be characters, each kept as consistent as the hero.
- Languages
- The same book reads and prints in 25 languages, so the grandparents can have it in theirs.
- Rights
- Original story — nothing is retold from another book, and the story is yours to keep, print and give.
- How you get it
- Free to read on screen within minutes. A print-ready 300 DPI PDF, or a printed hardcover at $39.90 per copy plus shipping.
Generating and regenerating illustrations uses credits; the estimate is shown in your project before you continue.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an AI personalized children’s book about my child?
Enter a name or nickname, select an age, and add favorite things. Continue to the creator to shape the story and the main character, then create the illustrated pages and read the finished book on screen.
Can siblings or pets appear in the story?
Include them in your idea and explain their relationship to the main character. Review the cast and illustrations to check that the characters are represented as intended.
Do I need to upload a photo?
No. This form starts from a name, age and interests. If you choose a photo-based character workflow, use photos you have permission to use and obtain a guardian’s consent for a child’s photo.
Can I create the book in another language?
Choose a supported language in the creator. Review names, wording and reading level with someone fluent in that language before sharing or ordering a printed copy.
What can I try for free?
You can read the complete public sample linked on this page for free. Creating and regenerating illustrations uses credits. Check your account’s current allowance and the project estimate before starting.
How long does creating a book take?
The time depends on the story length, illustration model, service availability and how much you revise. Follow the progress shown in the creator; this page does not promise a fixed completion time.
Can I change a page after it is generated?
You can revise text and illustrations while working on the book. Regenerating illustrations uses credits. Review the available edit options and save work you want to keep before making changes.
Can I order a printed copy?
Yes. A hardcover with a square trim on heavy matte stock is $39.90 per copy, and shipping is calculated and shown before you pay. Reading the finished book on screen stays free, so you only pay for the copy you want on the shelf. A printed book can run from 14 to 43 pages.
How is this different from a Wonderbly-style personalized book?
Gift publishers such as Wonderbly print a professionally written and illustrated story with your child’s name inserted; their Lost My Name title runs 22 pages from $24.99 per copy and ships in 2-4 working days (checked September 2026). An AI personalized children’s book is written and illustrated for that one child, so the plot, the setting and the hero’s look are yours to shape, and you can change any single page before it goes to print. If you want a story crafted by human authors and are happy with name-level personalization, a Wonderbly book is the better gift.
Can I sell the printed book or publish it on Amazon?
Yes. ReadKidz assigns you the rights to the stories and illustrations you generate, so you can print copies to sell or publish the book through Amazon KDP; the step-by-step KDP guide covers trim size, interior and cover files. Exports on a paid plan carry no watermark, which is what a print service or KDP expects.
