Storybook Avatars™ — your child, in watercolor
Upload a photo of your child and we'll create a stylized watercolor avatar that actually looks like them — in the same art style as the story illustrations. Their appearance is analyzed by AI and used in every illustration, so your child looks recognizably like themselves in every story.
From photo to watercolor portrait
Upload any clear photo of your child and Night Night's AI analyzes their features — hair color, eye color, skin tone, distinctive characteristics. It then generates a watercolor-style portrait that captures who they are in the same art style used throughout the stories.
- Works from any clear photo
- AI preserves real facial features
- Watercolor style matches story illustrations
- Generated in about 30 seconds
Consistent across every story
Once your child has a Storybook Avatar, their appearance description is used as a reference for every illustration. Whether they're on a pirate ship or in a fairy castle, your child looks like themselves — not a generic cartoon kid.
- Same recognizable appearance in every story
- Works across all 26 story worlds
- Sidekicks™ get avatars from text descriptions too
Refresh anytime
Children grow fast. Upload a new photo whenever you want and generate a fresh avatar that reflects how they look now. You can also regenerate from the same photo for a different artistic interpretation.
- Upload a new photo anytime
- Regenerate for a fresh look
- Previous stories keep their original illustrations

Frequently asked questions
Is the photo stored securely?
Yes. Photos are processed by our AI to generate the avatar and create an appearance description. The AI-generated description (not the photo) is what's used for future illustrations. We follow strict data privacy practices outlined in our privacy policy.
Can Sidekicks have avatars too?
Sidekicks get avatars generated from their text description rather than a photo. Describe your child's pet or stuffed animal and we'll create a matching watercolor avatar.
What if the avatar doesn't look right?
You can regenerate the avatar anytime — each generation is slightly different. For best results, use a well-lit photo where your child's face is clearly visible.
