What LoloTales makes
A personalised children’s picture book — written and illustrated, with narration when you want it — where your child is the hero.
Updated Sep 29, 20261 min read
LoloTales turns a few choices into a finished picture book: a story written for your child, and a painted illustration on every page. You can add a narrated reading to any finished book.


What you get
- A story written around the child, the people and pets you add, and the world you choose.
- One illustration per page. The hero looks the same, and the art style stays the same, from the first page to the last.
- Narration on request. You order it from the reader when you want it, and it is priced separately.
- A print-ready PDF, and — where printing is switched on — a printed paperback or hardback.
- A library that keeps every book, so a favourite is always one tap away.
How a book is made
- You answer a few short questions in the story wizard: how the story starts, where it happens, which reading level, which art style, who is in it.
- Lolo writes the words first and shows them to you. Read them, change anything you like, then choose Looks good — illustrate it.
- Every page is painted. This usually takes a few minutes, and you can leave the page while it happens.
- The finished book appears in your library.
