Bedtime books · with their own song

Your child, the hero of a book with their own song

Your child's photos become a storybook hero. Every two weeks a new book of 16–24 pages, depending on age, arrives, starring your child — with a song written for that story and a film mode that sings the pages along.

Free to start: your child's hero and a personal book cover, ready in minutes. Full book + song: $29.99 once, or 2 books a month for $24.99. Purchases open soon. Prices and what's included

  • Ages 2–10
  • English & Spanish (more soon)
  • Read, film and print
  • Cancel anytime

Example with a fictional child: the photo is generated, and StoryMoon drew the hero and the book from that one photo. For your child we ask for three, so the likeness holds. Open the demo book →

Series to collect

Your child stars in every episode, and each new book joins the collection.

Two illustration styles

The same sample child drawn two ways. Your child's hero is drawn once in the style you choose and stays the same in every book.

Both samples show a fictional test child. We never publish customers' children.

How it works

Ten minutes to set up. Then the books keep coming.

  1. Take three photos

    Front, three-quarter and a smile — with your phone camera or from your gallery. Photos stay private and are used only to draw the hero.

  2. Choose a style, meet the hero

    Pick one of two illustration styles. We draw a few portraits; you choose the one that looks most like your child, or ask for another.

  3. A new book every two weeks

    Each book comes with its own song and a film mode. You can swap the next story, skip it, or add a line about what happened this week.

What's inside every book

A real picture book, not a slideshow. Written for the age you choose, illustrated with your child on every page.

16–24 pages, depending on age

A cover, the illustrated story pages and a last page with a code that opens the song and the film. Younger children get shorter books, older children longer ones.

Read mode

Swipe through the pages together. Key words are highlighted so early readers can follow along.

Film mode

The song plays and the pages turn on their own, with sing-along subtitles. A bedtime favorite.

Printable PDF

Download the whole book as a PDF and print it at home or at any print shop.

In your language

English and Spanish today, with more languages on the way. Every story is written natively, not translated word for word.

Stories for real moments

Bedtime, a fear of the dark, waiting your turn, a rainy day, the first day of school, a lost tooth, goodbye to the pacifier, potty training, a bed of their own, moving house, big angry feelings, a new baby sibling, a visit to the doctor, a birthday, Christmas. And adventures with dinosaurs, pirates, space and football.

Every book has its own song

Not a jingle with a name pasted in. A song written for this story, sung with your child's name in the chorus.

The lyrics follow the book page by page, so in film mode the pages turn exactly when the song gets there. Two takes are recorded for every book and you can switch between them in the reader.

For grandparents

A book for your grandchild, and a new one every birthday

Grandparents ask us how to give StoryMoon. The parents add the photos; Grandma and Grandpa can be drawn into the story as themselves, and a birthday reminder every year leaves time for the next book.

Made by our team with AI — and we say so

Questions parents ask

How much does it cost?

Starting is free: we draw your child's hero and a personal cover, and you can read the story samples. A full book with its own song is $29.99, paid once, or $24.99 a month for two books with a song each, cancel anytime. Prices are in US dollars. Everything is digital (read online, film mode, a PDF to print); printed books are not included. Purchases open soon.

What ages is StoryMoon for?

Ages 2 to 10. You choose an age band — 2–4, 5–7 or 8–10 — and the text length and vocabulary of every book are written for it. Toddlers get two or three short sentences per page; older children get a fuller story.

Which languages are available?

English and Spanish for now. Pick the language for each child; every story is written natively in each language, not translated word for word. More languages are on the way.

How long does it take?

The hero takes a minute or two, and the free personal cover a few minutes more. A full book with its song takes longer, because every page is drawn and passes a quality check, and the song is recorded. It usually arrives within a few hours, and we email you as soon as it's ready.

Are the stories written by AI?

We use AI tools to write them. The StoryMoon team crafts every story and its song lyrics with AI writing tools. Illustrations, the song and the voice that reads the story aloud are also generated with AI tools for your child. Every page passes a quality check before delivery: the check is automated, and pages that fail it are redrawn. We label AI-made content in every book's PDF and on this site. Read the full statement.

What happens to my child's photos?

They're stored privately on our server and used only to draw the hero: an AI image-generation service draws it and an AI vision service checks the likeness, through links that expire after 15 minutes. We never use them to train AI, never show them to other users and never publish them. They stay until you delete them: once you've picked the hero you can, in Settings, and deleting the account removes everything. More in the privacy policy.

Can grandparents give StoryMoon?

Yes, together with the parents: a child's photos can only be added by a parent or guardian, and there's no gift card or gift checkout yet. Grandparents can send the page to the parents in one tap and be drawn into the stories as themselves. StoryMoon for grandparents.

Can their real favorite toy be in the book?

Yes. Add one photo of the toy in the child's profile and we'll draw that very toy into every book — their real favorite toy, right in the story.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, in one click from Settings. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for and you're not charged again. You can also skip the next book without cancelling.

What about refunds?

If no book has been generated in the current period, ask within 14 days and we refund that period in full. If a book has been generated, we may refund pro-rata at our discretion — and if something's wrong with a book, we fix it first, free. Refund policy.

Can I print the books?

Yes. Every book can be downloaded as a PDF (A4 landscape, print quality). Print it at home or take it to any print shop; the last page carries a code that opens the song and the film.

Ready to meet your child's hero?

Three photos, one style, and the first book is on its way.
