Tell the story through a song. Make up a simple melody and put the story into lyrics. Children love music and it will help them remember the story better. For example, the 'ABC' song is a way to teach the alphabet in a musical and story - like way.
One way is to start with an unexpected twist. It catches the reader's attention right away.
We could create a scrapbook. Paste in pictures that represent different parts of our lives, write down memories and feelings. It's a tangible way to show 'this is us our life our story'.
You can use different perspectives. Instead of just telling it from your own point of view, try to see it from the perspective of other people involved. For example, if it's a story about a family event, tell it from the view of a child or an elderly relative.
One simple way is to choose a sequence of pictures that follow a logical order. For example, if you want to tell a story about a day at the beach, you can start with a picture of a person waking up early in the morning, then a picture of them packing beach gear, followed by a picture of arriving at the beach, playing in the sand, and finally watching the sunset. Each picture represents a part of the story, and when put together, they form a complete narrative.

You could start by thinking of unique plot twists or unexpected events. Maybe introduce a new character with a mysterious background.
Start with a strong visual. Maybe create a mind map of your life on a large piece of paper. Put yourself in the center and then draw lines out to different aspects like family, career, hobbies. This visual can then guide how you tell your story. For example, you can start from one branch and work your way around.
