Make the story even more meaningful by adding familiar faces. You can include up to two supporting characters in your book.
Who can be a supporting character?
Parents, grandparents, siblings, best friends, and pets can all be added as supporting characters. Remember: the main character must be a child — adults and pets can only appear as supporting characters.
Available character types:
Mom or Dad
Sibling (you'll provide their age and gender)
Best Friend (you'll provide their age and gender)
Grandma or Grandpa
Pet (dog or cat)
Every supporting character requires a reference photo — this includes pets. We use the photo to create a personalised illustration of that character in the story. A clear, front-facing photo with only one person (or one pet) visible works best.
If a character doesn't have a usable photo yet — for example, an unborn sibling — you'll need to decide how to handle this before adding them, as the photo is required to generate their illustration.
Supporting characters appear naturally in the storyline alongside the main character, making the book feel personal and familiar.
