Sharing Routines Through Auto-Generated Storybooks

Posted on by

Google Gemini has a feature called Storybook where users can create a customized picture book on a given topic by writing a text prompt. At the time of this blog post, the feature is listed as experimental. Educators can describe elements of the book, such as target audience age, art style, and more! Customized storybooks can be generated specific to a learner’s interest and goals. For instance, reading about a character moving through a series of steps or routines can help students learn that particular skill.

Screenshot of the Gemini interface showing a generated children’s storybook called “Fitz’s Morning Rush.” On the left, a text prompt requests a story about a ferret going through his morning routine at a fourth grade reading level. Gemini responds with the storybook output. On the right, an illustrated page is displayed. The illustration shows a ferret mother in a yellow apron serving a bowl of food to her child, a young ferret named Fitz, who is sitting at a small wooden table wearing a red sweater and blue jeans. They are inside a cozy kitchen with a stone floor, green cabinets, a refrigerator, shelves, and a window with light streaming in. On the facing page, text reads: “His mom had left his favorite breakfast on the table: a bowl of crunchy kibble with a few sweet berries on top. Fitz hopped onto his chair and nibbled happily, making sure not to leave a single crumb. ‘Yum!’ he said to himself.”
