Make a bedtime book about Mia and a little fox who’s afraid of the dark. Use the photos and the style I picked in papergarden.
Sweet idea. I’ll write twelve pages where Mia teaches the fox that night is just the garden sleeping — illustrating them now.

Cast & consistency
The same characters, on every page
Every illustration is conditioned on your cast’s reference images, so Mia is still Mia on page eleven. Add photos of your kid, your dog, or yourself — and the people you love become storybook characters who stay true the whole way through.
One book, three spreads — generated from a single shared reference.

A book you can only scroll isn’t really a book. When yours feels right, papergarden turns it into a print-ready edition and ships you a hardcover — a keepsake for the shelf, not just the cloud.
