A bedtime story starring your child
Not a name pasted into a fixed story. SproutTales writes and illustrates a story around your child — the same hero on every page, leveled text, and a print-ready book.
How it works
From an idea to a story starring your child, in five steps.
Tell us about your child
Name, age, and what they love — dinosaurs, dragons, space, the sea. Or upload a photo, with your recorded consent.
Pick the adventure
A brave rescue, a lost treasure, a quiet walk with the moon — or let SproutTales suggest one around your child.
Lock the hero
SproutTales builds a reference character card so the same hero — same face, same clothes — appears on every page.
Read it tonight
GRL A–E leveled text matched to your child, with comprehension questions for after the last page.
Keep it forever
Download print-ready PDFs for Amazon KDP, or read it on screen again tomorrow night. Your books never expire.

Why SproutTales is different
The things that make a story starring your child actually work.
Truly generated, not a template
The story is written and illustrated around your child. Other personalized books insert a name into a fixed story — SproutTales builds the story itself.
No real photo needed
Option A builds the hero from a text description with no real photo at all. Option B uses a real photo, with a privacy scope you choose.
Parental consent before photos
Parents create the books; children do not sign up or share data. A photo is used only after your recorded consent.
Reading levels that teach
GRL A–E leveled text with matched vocabulary, comprehension questions, and a reading-progress view.
Print-ready for Amazon KDP
Two separate spec-compliant PDFs — interior and full cover — with bleed, gutter, spine width, and a padded page count.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a bedtime story starring my child?
Tell SproutTales about your child — name, age, and what they love — pick an adventure, and the story is written and illustrated around them in about 10 minutes. The hero is built from a description or a photo, and the same character appears on every page.
Does my child have to upload a photo?
No. Option A builds the hero from a text description with no real photo at all, so no personal image is ever used. Option B lets you upload a real photo, with a privacy scope you select and your recorded consent.
Will the character look the same on every page?
Yes. SproutTales stores a reference character card and applies a reusable consistency line on every page, so the same hero appears throughout the book instead of changing from page to page.
What age is a bedtime story starring my child for?
SproutTales stories are made for children aged 3 to 8. The text is leveled from GRL A to E, so a 3-year-old gets short, simple sentences and a 7-year-old gets a longer story with harder words.
Can I read it aloud tonight?
Yes. A book takes about 10 minutes to generate, and you can read it on screen the same evening. The story is written to be read aloud — short sentences, a clear rhythm, and a calm ending for bedtime.
Can I print the book?
Yes. SproutTales exports two print-ready PDFs for Amazon KDP — a separate interior and a full cover (back, spine, and front) — with the correct bleed, gutter, spine width, and an even, padded page count of at least 24.
Is it safe for my child?
Parents create the books; children do not sign up, and no data is collected from the child. A photo is used only after your recorded consent, and you can build a hero with no real photo at all. Read our safety and privacy pages for the full policy.
How much does it cost?
The Free plan creates 1 eight-page book a month with three art styles. Watermark-free PDF export and KDP-ready files start on the Creator plan at $29/month. Your books never expire.
