Open children's book on a bed, showing a girl hugging a teddy bear and a puppy.

Not a card. A hundred little reasons, illustrated.

Most Valentine's gifts for kids are a card with two lines and a sticker. LuluStories turns "I love you" into an entire illustrated adventure — with your child as the hero, and every page built around something specific and real: the way they laugh, that question they always ask at bedtime, how brave they were at the dentist, the nickname only you use.

Create their Valentine's story in 4 steps

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

    A clear phone photo of your child's face is all you need. LuluStories turns it into a consistent illustrated character on every single page of the story.

  2. 2

    Add the details

    Enter their name and age, then the specific things that make them, them — a habit, an inside joke, a favourite memory, the thing you'd want them to know if they ever forgot how loved they are.

  3. 3

    Choose a style

    Pick from Watercolour, Cinematic 3D, Studio Ghibli-inspired, Anime, Cartoon, and more. Each creates a completely different feel for their Valentine's story.

  4. 4

    Read or print

    The full illustrated story is ready in minutes. Read it together tonight, download as a PDF, or order a premium printed hardcover to keep on the shelf as a proper keepsake.

What parents say

I wasn't sure a four-year-old would sit through a whole story, but she made me read it three times in a row. She now tells people "my favourite thing about me is that I'm brave," which is a direct line from the book.

I used it to write down all the little things I love about my son before I could forget them — his laugh, the way he narrates his own snacks. He now knows them by heart.

Quote: Skipped the class Valentine's card scramble entirely and made this instead. My daughter has read it to herself every night since.
