The Brave Knight of Elm Street
“Sir Theo of Elm Street tightened his red wellies, the ones he wore even in summer, and marched toward the dragon's cave with Biscuit the dachshund at his heels.”

How it works
Three steps from a blank page to a book they will ask for again and again.
Tell us about your child
Their name, the things they love, what makes them laugh, the dog, the wobbly tooth. A few minutes is all it takes.
Family adds their touches
Invite Grandma, an aunt, an uncle. Each person adds a memory, a trait, or themselves as a character in the story.
Read it, then keep it forever
Read the finished story digitally right away, then order a premium printed hardcover made to be kept.
The MyKidsBook difference
The only storybook the whole family helps write
Personalized books have been around for years. But they have always been made by one person, alone at a checkout page. MyKidsBook is different: everyone who loves your child can add something real to the story. Grandpa's fishing trip. Auntie's nickname for her. The song Dad always sings wrong on purpose.
Invite anyone, anywhere
Send a link. Grandparents in another city, or another country, add their part in minutes. No app download, no account gymnastics.
Real memories, woven in
Family contributions are not stickers on top of a template. Our story team's frameworks are built to carry them, so every detail lands inside the plot.
A gift that is actually from them
When Grandma gives this book, she is in it, and part of it. That is a different kind of present.
One story. Every voice they love. That is the book they will keep.
Made from your family's words. Shaped by our story team.
Every MyKidsBook story is created from what you and your family share - one contributor or the whole clan. Our story team weaves those real details through story frameworks built on the craft of classic picture books, and a person reviews every page before your family sees it. Illustrations are crafted with the help of AI tools and reviewed with the same care.
- Made from your family's words
- Every page approved by a person
- Your child's details stay private and are never sold
Peek inside a story
A taste of how the details you share become the story itself. Final artwork is on its way; these spreads show the words doing the work.
Mila and the Moon Garden
“The moon garden only opened for someone who could hum Grandma Rosa's lullaby, and Mila knew every note, even the wobbly one at the end.”

Captain Ada's Puddle Sea
“Captain Ada surveyed the puddle sea from the tallest step, first mate Uncle Joe saluting with the wrong hand, as always.”

Questions, answered
How personalized are the stories, really?
Far beyond a name swap. Your child's interests, personality, and family members shape the plot itself: who appears, what happens, and the little details only your family would recognize. Two children will never have the same book.
Who creates the stories?
You do - together. Every story is created from your family's inputs: one person's or many. Our story team turns those inputs into the finished book using story frameworks built on the craft of classic picture books, and a person reviews every story before it reaches you. Illustrations are created with the help of AI tools and reviewed by our team.
What is the printed book like?
A premium color hardcover, printed and bound to keepsake quality. We print in both the US and UK, so shipping is local, fast, and reasonably priced in both markets.
Where is MyKidsBook available?
We are launching in the United States and the United Kingdom. Digital stories work anywhere; printed books ship US and UK first, with more countries to follow.
Can I give a MyKidsBook story as a gift?
That is half the point. Grandparents, aunts, and uncles can start a story themselves or be invited to add to one, and the printed book can ship straight to the child's family, gift-ready.
How do you handle my child's information?
Carefully. The details you share are used only to create your stories. We never sell personal data, we collect only what the story needs, and you can delete it at any time. Our full privacy policy spells this out in plain language.
