Personalized Books, Real Reactions
Parents share what happened when their kids opened their book for the first time.
“Made a book about our family trip to Yellowstone with all three grandkids AND their golden retriever Max. They keep pointing at the pages saying 'There's Max chasing the butterflies!' Absolute treasure.”
Margaret H.
Grandma of 3 · Austin, TX
“My boys wanted their stuffed dinosaurs to be in the story with them. Now T-Rex and Spike go on space adventures with the twins every night at bedtime. They won't let me skip a single page!”
Sarah T.
Mom of twins · Seattle, WA
“Created a book about my grandson's first trip to the beach with his cat Mr. Whiskers (yes, we brought the cat). The illustrations of them building sandcastles together are just magical!”
Linda R.
Grandma · Phoenix, AZ
“We included my daughter's favorite teddy bear Buttons in her birthday adventure story. She carries the book AND Buttons everywhere now. It's the sweetest thing I've ever seen.”
Jessica M.
First-time mom · Denver, CO
“Turned our Disney World trip into a storybook! My granddaughter, her little brother, and their pet bunny Cinnamon all went on the adventure. She makes me read it every single visit.”
Patricia K.
Nana · Portland, OR
“My kids insisted their toy robots had to be the sidekicks. The AI somehow made it work perfectly! Now Beep and Boop help them explore a magical forest. Pure creativity.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Leo Books
How does Leo Books create personalized children's books?
Upload a photo of your child (and optional pets or extra characters), choose a story template and illustration style, and Leo Books generates a preview. The AI creates illustrations featuring your child's likeness on every page. If the preview looks right, order a printed copy in softcover or hardcover.
What makes a personalized book different from a regular children's book?
Your child appears in every illustration, the story uses their name throughout, and text complexity adjusts to their age. Books for ages 0 to 4 use rhyming text. Books for ages 5 to 10 use longer prose. The result is a book that looks and reads like it was made for one specific kid, because it was.
Can I include pets, siblings, or favorite objects?
Yes. You can add pets (any kind), siblings, and favorite things (like a toy, blanket, or sports ball) as extra characters.
What size is the book and how many pages?
Each book is 8x8 inches and 30 pages.
How many story templates are available?
Over 40 story templates across 6 categories: adventure themes, holidays, sports, careers, life events, and activities. You can also write your own prompt to create a book from scratch.
What illustration styles can I choose?
8 illustration styles: watercolor, cartoon, vector, geometric pop, starlight sketchbook, sketch-lit whimsy, and more. The style applies to every page.
Can I add a dedication message?
Yes. Every book includes space for a dedication message, which makes it a good gift from parents, grandparents, or anyone close to the child.
What's the difference between softcover and hardcover?
Softcover is lighter and flexible. Hardcover is more durable. Both contain the same story and illustrations.
What's the digital-only option?
For $8.99, you get instant access to high-resolution PDF and image downloads of your book. No physical book is printed. You can order a printed copy later at a discounted price.
Can I order a printed copy later if I buy digital-only?
Yes. You can order a printed book anytime at a discounted reprint price: $36 for softcover or $46 for hardcover.
Can I reorder additional copies?
Yes. Reorder anytime at discounted reprint pricing: $36 for softcover or $46 for hardcover.
What photos work best?
Clear, well-lit photos where the child's face is visible. Phone photos work fine. The AI uses the photo to generate illustrations that match your child's appearance throughout the book.
When will my printed book arrive?
Printing and delivery times vary by destination and shipping option. You'll see an estimated delivery window at checkout.
Can I preview the book before I buy?
Yes. You see a full preview after uploading photos and choosing a story and style. No payment required until you decide to order.
Can I regenerate individual illustrations?
Yes. If a particular page's illustration doesn't look right, you can regenerate just that page without affecting the rest of the book.
Who checks the quality before printing?
Our in-house artists review every book before it goes to print. This ensures illustrations meet quality standards and your child's story looks correct.
Is it safe to upload my child's photo?
Photos are only used to create the character in your book. We never store them after generation. Photos are encrypted in transit.
