KidWhispers - Personalized Kids Books

Hey Product Hunt 👋 This started as a really simple moment: my son opening a story and whispering, “That’s me.” That reaction stuck with me — because when kids see themselves in a story, they lean in, listen longer, and something deeper clicks. When I went looking for personalized storybook sites that actually used a child’s real image, I kept running into the same two things: • cartoonized versions that kinda, sorta looked like them • cookie-cutter books with face swaps dropped into prewritten templates What I wanted didn’t seem to exist — the ability to create any story, about any topic, with a child who still looked unmistakably like themselves, but illustrated naturally inside a storybook world. That turned out to be way harder than expected. AI really wants to either stylize or caricature humans. Getting a true human likeness to live inside a painterly storybook scene — without turning into a cartoon — felt close to impossible. After hundreds of hours of experimenting, we finally figured out a way to make it work. KidWhispers is built around that moment when a child recognizes themselves, and around helping parents turn bedtime into something slower, calmer, and more meaningful. I’d genuinely love feedback from parents, educators, and builders here: What makes a kids’ story feel truly special or memorable in your house?
