Before You Start

Your Pre-Generation Checklist

A few minutes of setup makes a huge difference in how recognizable your child looks in the final book.

Decide who the story features

One child as the hero? Siblings together? A whole classroom? Knowing this up front shapes everything.

Choose 1-3 clear photos

Well-lit, front-facing photos work best. Avoid group shots, heavy filters, or sunglasses that hide features.

Note distinctive traits

Glasses, curly hair, a favorite jacket, mobility aids — anything that makes your child uniquely them.

Pick a story setting

School, outer space, a fantasy kingdom — the setting helps the AI choose a matching art style.

Think about your child's interests

Dinosaurs, ballet, superheroes — weaving their passions in makes the story feel personal, not generic.

Keep descriptions natural

You don't need "prompt engineering." Describe your child the way you'd describe them to a friend.

Photo Guidance

How to Take the Best Photos for AI Character Consistency

The quality of your reference photo directly affects how well the AI captures your child's look.

1

Good lighting

Natural daylight or a well-lit room. Avoid harsh shadows across the face.

2

Front-facing

A clear view of the face — not looking down at a phone or turned to the side.

3

Minimal obstructions

Remove hats or sunglasses unless they're part of the child's "signature look."

4

Simple background

A plain wall or outdoors works well. Busy backgrounds can confuse the AI.

5

Recent photo

Kids change fast — use a photo from the last few months for the best match.

For Teachers

Classroom Storybooks Made Simple

Create books featuring your students without needing a tech team.

Teachers use ToonyStory for end-of-year gifts, reading programs, and social-emotional learning. Each student becomes a character in their own adventure — or the whole class can appear together.

The consistency engine keeps every student looking like themselves across all pages, so kids instantly recognize each other in the story. No more “that doesn’t look like me!” moments.

Classroom tips

  • Collect one clear photo per student (with parent permission)
  • Use a shared story template so every book has the same structure
  • Let students choose their own adventure theme for personalization
  • Print as a class set — hardcover books make memorable keepsakes

Photos are used solely to generate your character's illustrated look and are never shared, sold, or used for training. You can delete your data at any time.
You can regenerate individual pages without restarting the whole book. The system keeps your character's identity locked while producing a fresh illustration for that scene.
Yes — each child gets their own character profile. Siblings, cousins, or classmates can all appear in the same story with their own consistent look.
