Frequently Asked Questions

Simply share your child's photo, their name, age, and a few details about what makes them uniquely wonderful: their favorite things, their personality traits, or their dreams. These small details become the heart of a story crafted just for them.

Our books are thoughtfully created for children ages 2-10, though many families treasure them well beyond. The stories grow with your child, transforming from bedtime favorites into cherished keepsakes they'll share with their own children someday.

Absolutely. We provide a partial preview of your personalized story before you commit. You'll see a character portrait, the book cover, a sample two-page spread, and a story summary — giving you a real feel for the finished book before we send it to print.

Your child's world extends beyond themselves, and so does their story. You can include siblings, beloved pets, and family members to create a narrative that truly mirrors their everyday life and the people they hold dear.

Yes, a free account lets you save your progress, review your book preview, and track your order. It takes about 30 seconds — just an email and a password.

A clear, well-lit photo where your child's face is easy to see works best. Front-facing shots with natural lighting are ideal. The photo helps our illustrators capture your child's likeness in the story's artwork.

The story and illustrations are generated within minutes. You'll be able to review the story summary and character portrait first, then approve the art style before the rest of the book is assembled. The preview process typically takes under 15 minutes.

Yes. During the preview process, you can request changes to both the story and the artwork. If something doesn't feel right, just tell us what to adjust and we'll regenerate it. You only pay once you're completely happy with the result.

Start by uploading a photo of your child and filling in their name, age, and personality details. Next, choose a theme for the adventure and select an art style you love. We'll generate a preview with the full story and illustrations within minutes. Review everything, make any changes you'd like, and once you're delighted, proceed to checkout. It takes about 15-20 minutes total. See how it works.

Libronauts uses AI to write a completely unique story for each child — not filling in blanks in a template. Your child's personality, interests, and fears shape the actual narrative. We generate custom illustrations for each book (not clip art), and you can upload a photo so the artwork shows your real child. You preview the entire finished book before paying. Wonderbly and similar companies typically use template stories with stock art, so two children might have nearly identical books.

Yes, it's completely safe. We use your photo only to generate the illustrations for your book. We never use it for marketing, advertising, AI training, or share it with anyone. You can request deletion of your photo at any time. Your data is encrypted and stored securely, and all payments are processed through bank-level security.

Every Libronauts book is an original story crafted around your child's unique personality, interests, and world. Rather than simply inserting a name into a template, we create narratives where your child truly becomes the hero, with illustrations and storylines that reflect who they are. No templates. No clip art. Every book we make exists exactly once in the universe.

Each book contains 30 pages of original story and one-of-a-kind illustrations. That's enough for a rich, complete narrative arc — long enough to get lost in, short enough for a single bedtime reading.

We offer two sizes: the Heirloom (8×8 inches), perfect for little hands and bedtime reading, and the Grande (11×11 inches), a stunning large-format book that makes a real visual impact. Both are hardcover.

Each book is crafted with museum-quality materials designed to last generations. We use thick, silk-finish paper that feels luxurious under little fingers, paired with durable binding that withstands countless readings, sticky hands, and all the love a favorite book receives.

Our illustrations are generated using advanced AI art tools, guided by your chosen art style and your child's likeness. Each image is unique — created specifically for your book. You get to review and approve the art style before the rest of the book is illustrated.

Yes. During the creation process, you'll select from a range of art styles — from watercolor storybook to bold and graphic. The art style you choose shapes the entire visual world of your child's adventure.

Every story is truly unique. We don't use fill-in-the-blank templates. Your child's name, personality, interests, fears, and dreams are woven into an original narrative. Two children with different details will receive completely different stories.

Yes, absolutely. We use museum-quality paper and durable binding specifically designed to last generations. The silk-finish pages feel luxurious and withstand countless readings, sticky fingers, and all the love a treasured book receives. Many families pass their Libronauts books to grandchildren as heirlooms.

Personalized books cost more because each one is custom-created just for your child, not mass-produced from templates. We use AI to write an original story, generate custom illustrations, use premium materials, and print on demand — meaning no two books are ever identical. You're paying for uniqueness, quality, and the story of your child becoming the hero.

It becomes a comfort item they'll ask to read repeatedly — and a keepsake parents treasure.
