- Gemini’s story book function allows you to instantly generate 10-page illustrated history books
- You can choose art style species and themes
- The results can be cute but are far from the quality of beloved classics
If you have a child who loves to hear about himself in a story, Google’s Gemini AI has a new trick that can keep them happy for a long time. Gemini’s new history book feature allows you to generate fully illustrated, ten-page history books with storytelling from a single prompt.
You describe the story, the look you want, and other details, and Gemini writes the story, creates images for each page and reads it aloud within minutes.
Storybook in some ways combines just existing abilities such as text composition, image generation and voice narrative. By still putting them in a single prompt system, it speeds up the final product tremendously. If you do not like certain details of the look or writing, you can simply adjust the book with follow -up prompt. You can even feed it a photo to shape the setting or characters.

The appeal for those who may feel they lack creative writing or drawing skills is obvious. No need to hire an illustrator or record voiceovers yourself. If your child wants a bedtime story about a shy dragon that finds confidence in music camp, you write it in, and within minutes you have a book of pictures, storytelling and side-by-side structure.
This is also not just for bedtime. Teachers can create adapted stories to explain hard topics, perhaps teaching second classes about gravity with a friendly astronautkat. Therapists could use history books to help the children speak through emotions using characters they associate with. Aunts and uncles can make personal birthday stories with internal jokes and family pets.
What used to be a labor -intensive creative project is now something you can do on your phone during the lunch break.
Ai Storytellers
And it is a remarkable shift from the standard template with an empty to fill the approach that is common to other AI tools. The narrative even adapts to the tone of the story with voices that can be quirky, soothing or dramatic, depending on what your story needs. Google throws the tool for busy parents, overtime teachers and creative children looking for a co -author and illustrator for their ideas.
I asked Gemini to make a story that my dogs should go on an adventure in nature, share their names and describe their appearance, and it’s about it. You can read and listen to the gemini-created story here.
It did a remarkably good job, albeit with a very inconsistent look on the dogs from side to side and a somewhat dull story. And when I tried it again to see how it would work with the same prompt, the dogs sometimes had more than four limbs, not exactly reassuring to a child looking forward to a story about their pets.
And while it is theoretically possible that Gemini could write and illustrate a story better than the many classic and modern children’s books out there, or a more personal resonance than writing it myself, I personally have doubts. This is a fun little trick, but the idea of skipping each bookstore, library and box of crayons and pencils for an AI alternative that can’t always make your dog look the same on each side feels like the exact activity I would rather do myself. I stick to asking AI for help organizing my kitchen and leaving the bedtime stories to me.
