How Tolu works

A 10-page personalised storybook starring your child — created in the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

STEP 01

Tell us about your child

Just their name, age, pronouns and a few favourite things. Save the profile in “My children” and reuse it next time — no retyping.

STEP 02

Choose a character & theme

Pick skin tone, hair and outfit so the hero looks like your little one. Then choose from six adventure themes — dinosaurs, forest, space, ocean, fairy tale or underwater.

STEP 03

AI creates the magic

Google Gemini writes a 10-chapter arc tailored to your child. Illustrations are generated in parallel so a full cover plus pages are ready in around 90 seconds.

STEP 04

Preview, download or print

Flip through the book interactively, share a 30-day preview link with grandparents, download the print-ready PDF, or order a softcover or hardcover shipped to your door.

What's in every book

Every Tolu storybook ships with the same magical essentials.

10 full-colour pages

A proper storybook — not a pamphlet.

Your child as the hero

Name on the cover and on every single page.

Ages 3–8

Warm, age-appropriate language kids actually love.

Print-ready PDF

Plus optional softcover and hardcover printing.

Behind the magic

We pair best-in-class AI models with thoughtful guardrails so the result feels hand-crafted, not generated. Every book is unique to your child — and safe for them to read.

Stories by Google Gemini

Original, age-appropriate stories — never templates.

Consistent illustrations

Your hero looks the same on every page.

You own the PDF

Reprint as many copies as you like, forever.

Safe by design

Strict content filters built for children's books.

Common questions

Still curious? Email us at hello@tolu.app.

How long does it take?+
About 90 seconds from your last answer to a finished book. Most parents are reading it to their kids the same evening.
Can I edit the story after it's generated?+
Yes — you can tweak the child's name, regenerate individual pages, and re-render illustrations until you're happy before downloading or printing.
What ages is this for?+
Tolu is designed for children aged 3 to 8. The reading level adapts to the age you enter so younger kids get shorter sentences and bigger words.
Can I print it myself?+
Absolutely. Every book includes a print-ready PDF you own. Print at home, at a local print shop, or order our hardcover for a keepsake-quality finish.
Is my child's data safe?+
We only store what you give us, never share it, and you can delete a child's profile at any time from your account.
What if I don't love it?+
We have a friendly refund policy — see our refund policy for the details.
