From a single photo, your child becomes the hero who looks just like them.

Ages 1 through 12. We tune the pacing, vocabulary, and story shape to four reading tiers — toddler (1–3), preschool (4–5), early reader (6–7), and older reader (8–12). Pick your child's age and we handle the rest.

Only what you give us, only as long as you want it. You can delete any story, profile, or your whole account from your dashboard. We never sell data, never use children's information for ads, and never train AI on your child's identity.

For a one-off, a chatbot can draft some text — but you'll get plain words: no illustrations, no consistent hero across stories, no narration, nothing to keep or print, and no safety filter built for young readers. A ready-made personalized book is lovely, but it's a fixed template — the same story for every child, with a name swapped in. A Lumora story is written fresh for this child — a complete, illustrated, read-aloud picture book in about three minutes, free to try, and printable as a keepsake hardcover whenever you want one.

Usually 1–2 minutes start to finish: about 80 seconds for shorter (toddler/preschool) stories, up to 2 minutes for the longer older-reader ones. The cover and first pages stream in as they're written — you watch the book paint itself, you don't sit on a blank loading screen.

Make another one — every theme, hero combo, and moment gives a fresh story, and you can iterate until one lands. If a generation ever fails, we refund it automatically — you don't even have to ask. A single story you've already made isn't refundable (it's yours to keep and remake); a subscription can be refunded within 7 days for the part of the cycle you haven't used yet — just ask in the help chat. Hardcover books are covered if they arrive damaged.

Yes. Every story is print-ready. Order the keepsake hardcover for $49.99 plus shipping (calculated at checkout), delivered worldwide in 2–3 weeks. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, and grandparents.

You pick the gift and we deliver it by email — to them on the day you choose, or to you to hand over with a printable card. The parents open it, add their child's name and one photo, and the story is written for that child. You don't need their photo — the parents add it. You take the credit; they do the two-minute part.

We send gentle reminders for you, and you can nudge them yourself in one click from your receipt email. Gift codes never expire — a busy week on their end never costs you the gift.

The digital story is ready the same evening — reading it together on screen is the first half of the gift. The keepsake hardcover is printed and arrives in 2–3 weeks for most of the world. Around Christmas we publish clear order-by dates so it's under the tree on time.

Never. No prices appear anywhere in the gift — not in the email, not on the card, not in the book.

Yes — that's the magic. Once you create a child profile, every new story keeps their name, appearance, and favorite things consistent. The library that grows with them is the whole point.

Stories can be written in eleven languages today — English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Arabic, and German — and the site itself speaks ten of them. Tell us your home language if it's missing and we'll prioritize it next.

Yes, in one click from your dashboard. No emails to send, no friction, no guilt. You keep every story you've already made — forever, downloadable as PDFs.

Lumora is independent and obsessed with one thing: personalized children's books good enough to become bedtime favorites — safe, beautiful, and written fresh for your child. We read every email at hello@lumora.kids.
