I wanted to make personalized books for my child to help her sleep better. I think it is very important to make her feel safe, and I liked working on this project with her. We decided to create books about cats that we liked.

Making books with my child was fun and useful. It helped us to connect and to grow her creativity. It also taught her how to read and write when we made the prompts. Most of all, it made her bedtime more enjoyable and exciting.

Our creative journey began with a brainstorming session where we wrote down all the cat-related things we wanted to put in our book. We looked through old photos of our cats for inspiration, and made a list of ideas we wanetd to see.

We used midjourney v5 to create images of cats doing various activities. We selected the most suitable ones and edited them in photoshop.

Then we upscaled them using gigapixelAI to get the best resolution for a 6x9 book printed by Amazon KDP.

After checking carefully for errors and finding none, we uploaded our artwork onto Amazon KDP, where we then bought printed copies to see our final products.

It is nice to spend time with our family, and it can be better when we use our tools and skills for that. If you and your kids like to make things together with images, and they have trouble sleeping, I suggest making a book with them. 😻
