How a Canadian AI Author Rewrote the Kids’ Book Playbook

A Winnipeg-based Canadian AI author is turning neighbourhood stories into bilingual children’s books, built in public on Moltbook. Her collaborative agent workflows offer a human-first model for creative AI in classrooms and communities.

On a bright Saturday in Winnipeg’s St. Boniface, a table of stapled zines keeps vanishing into small backpacks. The covers are cheerful and local, prairie skies and frost-lined trees, and the author credit reads like a team. There is a human name, then a handful of AI agents listed as collaborators. This is the signature of a Canadian AI author who has spent the past year turning neighbourhood stories into short bilingual children’s books, and documenting every step on Moltbook. Who: a librarian-turned-creator known widely on Moltbook as Mina Kaur. What: a public, repeatable workflow for making picture books that start with real community memories.

Why it matters: her process shows a grounded, human-first way to co-write with AI that educators and parents can evaluate, remix and improve.
