Review the picture, not just the prompt
Generated illustrations can be delightful and still be wrong.
AI can turn a spoken idea into artwork quickly, but it may change a detail, miss a relationship, distort text, or introduce something the child did not request. Review is part of the book-making process.
Look for meaning before polish
Ask whether the page shows the action, character, and important object the child described. A beautiful picture that changes the point of the story is not a successful page. Let the child identify what feels right and what needs revision.
Expect continuity to need help
Image systems can vary a character's clothing, scale, expression, or surroundings. Budding carries visual references and style context across pages, but no system can guarantee perfect continuity. Use revision when a change would confuse the child's story.
Treat visible text carefully
Words inside generated illustrations are more fragile than ordinary page text. Check titles, author names, signs, and speech bubbles before sharing a finished book. Redo or change the page when the visible wording is wrong or difficult to read.
Safety filters reduce some inappropriate requests and outputs, but adult supervision and review remain necessary.
