Want to create a personalized children's book where your kid is the hero? With AI, you can do it in about 10 minutes. No design skills needed.

Why Personalized Books Work

Kids who see themselves in stories are 3x more engaged with reading. When your child recognizes their name, their face, and familiar details in a book, they're not just reading—they're experiencing their own adventure.

Traditional custom books? $40-60 and weeks of waiting. AI changes everything.

The 3-Step MioTales Process

Step 1: Choose Your Book Details

Pick your story elements:

  • Title: "Emma's Jungle Adventure" or whatever you like
  • Theme: Adventure, Fantasy, Educational, Bedtime, Friendship, or Family
  • Age Range: 2-4, 5-7, 8-10, or 11-13 years
  • Pages: 6, 8, 10, or 12 pages
  • Illustration Style: Watercolor, Cartoon, Anime, Realistic, Storybook, and 7 more

Step 2: Create Your Character

Upload a clear photo of your child and add:

  • Their name
  • Description (optional): "A brave 7-year-old who loves animals"
  • Story ideas (optional): "Goes on a quest to help a lost elephant"

The AI analyzes the photo to create a character that looks like your child throughout the book.

Step 3: Generate Illustrations

Click "Generate All Illustrations" and watch the AI create professional artwork for each page. Takes about 3-5 minutes per page.

Done! Download your PDF in about 10-15 minutes total.
