Not a name-in-a-template generator — your child's actual face
Most "personalized story" tools insert a name into a fixed template, or generate a generic cartoon avatar. LuluStories is a true AI story generator: upload a photo and our AI turns your child's real likeness into a consistent illustrated character that appears — recognizably them — on every single page.
The story itself is generated fresh every time, too. It's not pulled from a library of pre-written templates. Tell the AI your child's name, age, interests, and the people or pets who should join the adventure, and it writes an original story built around them.
How the AI story generator works
From photo to finished storybook in four simple steps.
Upload a photo
A clear phone photo of your child's face is all the AI needs. It becomes a consistent illustrated character on every page.
Add their details
Name, age, interests, favorite toy, a sibling or pet — the more detail, the more the AI can personalize the story.
Choose a style
Pick from Watercolour, Cinematic 3D, Studio Ghibli-inspired, Anime, Cartoon Western, and more.
Generate & read
The AI writes and illustrates the full story in minutes. Read it online, download the PDF, or order a printed hardcover.

What Parents Say
“"I was skeptical an AI could actually make my son look like himself — but it did. The story was completely original too, not just his name dropped into a template."”
“"We've tried a few AI story apps. This is the only one where the character on the page actually looks like my daughter, not just a generic cartoon kid."”
“"My mother generated a story for our son using his photo. When he saw himself on the first page he gasped. That reaction is worth more than any templated book."”
