How it works

  1. Add the people they love

    Upload a photo of family, a friend or a pet and it becomes an illustrated character your child recognises.

  2. Steer the plot

    Write a line of direction — a lesson, an inside joke, a lost tooth — and the story follows your lead.

  3. Read, listen, keep

    Read along with original music, on any screen. When a story becomes the one they ask for, send it to print.
