Made for reluctant readers

Your kid doesn't hate reading.
They hate boring reading.

One photo — or no photo at all. See your hero in about a minute.

Two ways to make the hero

Pick the one you're comfortable with. Same 12-page story, same reading-level calibration, same human check — only the character art starts differently.

Real Photo

Upload one photo

We turn one photo into an illustrated character that stays the same on all 12 pages. This is the one that makes kids say “that's really me.”

  • Closest likeness — freckles, hair, glasses
  • Photo auto-deleted after the comic is made
Build a Hero

Build an avatar — no photo needed

Choose skin tone, hair, eyes and face shape, type your child's name, and you're done. Nothing about your child's face ever leaves your home.

  • Zero photos, zero uploads
  • Faster and a little cheaper

How it works

From hero to finished comic in four steps — whichever path you choose.

  1. 1

    Pick your path

    Choose the way that feels right for your family. Both lead to the same 12-page comic.

    • Real Photo — upload one photo of your child
    • Build a Hero — make an avatar, no photo needed

    Make the hero

    We turn your child into a consistent illustrated character who looks the same on every page.

    • Same face, same hair, all 12 pages
    • Photos are auto-deleted after the comic is made

    Choose story & reading level

    Dinosaurs, space, ballet, football, robots — pick a theme, then set the reading level from first words to confident sentences.

    • Vocabulary calibrated to your child
    • Add a favourite thing: a dog, a toy, a blanket
