AI Prefect
For teachers. Illustration, not a measured result. Not part of the rating. Doodara can turn a class story idea or a phonics theme into an illustrated picture book with the same characters on every page, which you then read and edit before sharing. Do not upload pupil photos or use pupil names, because on the free plan prompts and photos go to AI providers that may keep them, and keep any book out of the public gallery.
