Why KindFable exists
Childhood happens in tiny moments — the first wobbly tooth, the rainy Tuesday, the dragon invented at bedtime. We think we’ll remember them forever, and then somehow we don’t.
KindFable was built to catch those moments while they’re still warm: to turn a photo and a few honest lines into a book your family can hold, shelf after shelf, year after year. Not one book — a childhood, kept.
Every family has stories only they could tell. We just help paint them.
How KindFable works
- Step 1
Pick a book
Choose a finished story from the shop — a birthday parade, a zoo day, a Halloween adventure, a baking day with Grandma. Or write your own story from something that really happened.
- Step 2
Add your child
Add your child's photo and first name — and, where the story has a part for them, a photo of Grandma, a brother or a sister. We turn each photo into a painted character and do not keep the original photos.
- Step 3
We paint the whole book
Every page is painted with your child in it. You look through the whole book, fix up to three pictures by telling us what's wrong, then confirm. Nothing prints until you do.
- Step 4
Printed and shipped
Your book is printed to order as a softcover or hardcover and posted to your door. You can read it online too.
Made to be kept
- A square 8.5 × 8.5 inch book, printed as a softcover or hardcover keepsake
- The full digital book — read it online or keep the PDF forever
- The hardcover ($69) ships free with a narrated audiobook and the story's own song; the softcover ($39) comes with the song
- Family welcome: the family titles have a part for Grandma, a brother or a sister, painted from their photo too
Signing in with Google
You can try KindFable and see your first cover preview without an account. To keep your books in your library — and to buy, download or print them — you create a free KindFable account. You can sign in with your email address or with your Google Account. When you choose Google Sign-In, Google shares your name, email address, and profile picture with KindFable.
We use this information for one purpose only: to create and secure your account — so your books are saved to your personal library, so you can sign back in, and so we can email you about your books and print orders.
KindFable requests only basic sign-in permissions (your email address and basic profile). We do not request or access any other Google data — no Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, Contacts, or Calendar. We never sell your information, and KindFable’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Privacy & your choices
We designed KindFable to hold as little as possible: the original photo you upload is never saved by us — it goes to our AI provider to be checked and drawn, under that provider’s own terms, and only the drawing is kept. You can review, export, or delete your data at any time. Full details are in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
