Hello,

If it matters, we don’t have kids.  

Still, I think that you can create Storybooks with Gemini to take things that you care about and put them into a visual format that your kids could enjoy.

The process is straightforward -

    1. Go to Gemini - gemini.google.com

    2. Prompt for a Storybook

      1. I.e. - Create a storybook about [topic]

    3. If you don’t like the results, try again, adding more detail 


Depending on what your kids like, you can add a style that makes sense.  

Here are some examples that bring it all together -

    • Create a storybook about my first job as a choose your own adventure book for children

      • You’d have to provide details about your job of course

    • Create a storybook about when I met my wife in the style of Pokemon

    • Create a storybook about my deep fear of snakes using  an 8-bit video game style

    • Create an anime storybook about our family tree

    • Etc.


You can really use any combination of something that is meaningful to you and a style that your children enjoy.  And Gemini creates them pretty quickly so you can try until you find a winner!


Hope that helps.
