MAKE A STORY THAT BELONGS TO YOUR FAMILY
How to create a personalized children’s book from photos
LOOKAyou! turns the people, pets and memories you choose into an illustrated storybook. You guide the story and review the results before approving the finished book.
Start with your people and your story
- Choose a package and create an account. Compare digital, hardcover and bundle prices before signing in. The account keeps your projects together while you work.
- Describe the book. Tell us about the main character, people or pets to include, and the memory or adventure you want to tell. A family trip, first day at school or afternoon with a grandparent can be a starting point.
- Add reference photos. Choose clear images where faces are easy to see. Your photos guide illustrated characters; results are artistic interpretations. Use our photo guide to prepare your references.
- Choose an illustration style and review characters. Look at the generated characters and approve the versions you want to use in the book.
- Review the story, pictures and cover. Read each page, check the illustrations, enter the title and author credit you want, and review your dedication. Correct mistakes before giving final approval.
- Choose your completed books and check out. The available package determines whether you receive a digital PDF, a printed hardcover or both. Review shipping, taxes and the final order total before paying.
