Your Family Heroes

For the heroes still here, and the ones we hold close.

Most of our families make books about a grandparent, but heroes come in every shape. A father. A mother. A great-grandmother whose stories deserve to outlive her. A dog who was there for everything.

The grandparent who shaped your family

For the grandmother whose hands made every meal. The grandfather who told the same joke every Sunday. The stories you grew up hearing, written down, illustrated, kept.

The parent your children should know

If you've lost a parent, your children may never hear them speak. A picture book is one way they can.

The pet who was family

The dog who was there for every chapter. The cat your kids grew up with. Their story deserves a book too.

Real books from real families

Examples

Each book is unique to the person it is about. Different cultures, different relationships, different heroes.

Bubbie · For Lyla

I Love You More

A grandmother's voice, written for her granddaughter Lyla — a story that starts long before Florida, in a little city called Brooklyn.

“Come sit with me, my Lyla. I'm your Bubbie, and I have a story to tell you.”

The process

How a Family Hero Book gets made

Most people finish in about an hour — take your time, discuss with family, come back anytime.

1Step 1

Tell us about your hero

Answer questions about your hero — where they came from, what they love(d), and stories you don't want to forget. Upload a photo and your book will be created in less than 10 minutes.

A real photo of a grandmother with red glasses and curly blonde hair — the kind of photo you might upload to start your book

2Step 2

We turn your memories into a story

Your photo becomes a storybook character who appears on every page. Your answers become the words. Same warmth, same smile, in a style children love. This is your time to edit images and the text that doesn't feel right — you're the writer, the AI is there to assist.

3Step 3

A story your family will keep forever.

Your PDF is ready the same evening you finish. The printed hardcover arrives within 7–10 days. After that, it stays in your home forever.
