RENJI LABS / Personalized children’s books
Hello Storybook
A familiar face. A whole new story.
Hello Storybook starts with a child’s photo to create an original illustrated book. Their name, age, interests, and the moments you want to celebrate help shape a story that feels like theirs.
How it works
From one photo to a book of their own.
- 01
Tell us about your little hero
Share their first name, age and a few details about how they look, then pick the story you want.
- 02
Upload one clear photo
A single well-lit, front-facing photo is all it takes.
- 03
Meet their storybook character
AI illustration captures their features, hair and skin tone, and keeps that character the same on every page.
- 04
Their story, painted around them
A complete story tuned to their age, with every spread illustrated from that same character.
- 05
Check out, then read
Choose digital, softcover or hardcover. The digital edition arrives about 15–20 minutes after checkout.
Inside Hello Storybook
A story that could only be theirs.
01 / Consistent likeness
One photo. The same face on every page.
From a single clear photo, Hello Storybook paints a warm storybook character with your child’s features, hair and skin tone, and keeps that likeness from the cover to the last page.
- Every skin tone, hair type and ability is welcome.
- While you create, you see your child’s portrait, painted from your photo, before you reach checkout.
02 / Story themes
Courage, kindness and the big firsts.
Each book is one original, gentle story of about 30 pages, with the length, words and themes tuned for children roughly 1 to 10.
- Courage
- A big first time
- Becoming a big sibling
- Kindness
- Bedtime
- A grand adventure
- Something all their own
03 / The whole crew
Room for siblings and best friends.
Sibling and best-friend books are among the most-loved stories. Add each child during creation, and anyone else in the story gets their own photo.
04 / Cuddle-Up Corner
Where story time becomes connection time.
Every story through age 9 ends with a Cuddle-Up Corner: a gentle mindset message, a family mantra, three little questions and one tiny real-world challenge.
