“Getting ready to be a big sister” — starring your toddler

A new baby changes your firstborn's world overnight. The books that help most are the ones where the big kid is the hero of the change — not pushed aside by it. A personalized new-sibling book stars your toddler by name: they help set up the crib, they teach the baby things, they're the capable big brother or big sister the family is lucky to have.

Storybookable makes it easy: describe your child and the baby on the way, and AI writes and illustrates a warm story about the family growing — one you'll keep long after both kids outgrow it.

Why the big kid needs their own book

Most new-baby preparation revolves around the baby. A personalized book flips that: it's about the older child's new superpower. Reading it before the birth previews what's coming; reading it after gives them a proud identity ("I'm the big sister in the book") during the wobbliest weeks.

Moments to include

Feeling the baby kick and picking out a toy for them.
The day the baby comes home — and the special big-kid job they get.
A page about big feelings: it's okay to feel left out sometimes, and Mom and Dad's laps still fit one more.
A look ahead: all the things they'll teach the baby.

How it works

Describe the story. Type any idea in a sentence — the theme, who's in it, and what happens. Pick a reading level and page count.
Add your characters. Your child's name, how they look, their personality — plus siblings, grandparents, even the family dog.
Generate. AI writes an age-appropriate story and illustrates every page in the art style you choose. The characters stay consistent from cover to cover.
Edit, then print or share. Change any words, regenerate any illustration, design the cover — then order a professionally printed copy or share a digital version.

Frequently asked questions

When should we give it to the older sibling?

Many families read it in the last month of pregnancy, then gift a printed copy 'from the baby' at the hospital — a well-loved trick for a sweet first meeting.

Can the book include the new baby's name?

Yes, if you've chosen one — or keep it as 'the baby' and edit the text later. Every line is editable.

Does it work for big brothers too?

Of course. Describe your child and the story adapts — big brother, big sister, twins on the way, any family shape.
