Make a picture book with your kid, about anything they love.

Your child picks the hero, the place and what happens. TaleBuilder writes and illustrates it at their reading level, and you read it together.

Your kid says what happens next

Every page starts as a sentence from your child. The characters stay the same from one page to the next, so the book reads like a book.

  1. Micah, a curious girl

    1. Start with a character. This is Micah.

  2. Micah holding a notebook

    2. "Give her a notebook to observe."

  3. Micah with Professor Elara in a classroom

    3. "Add a wise professor mentor."

  4. Micah making a discovery in a greenhouse

    4. "She makes a scientific discovery."

Read the finished book: What being a scientist is like
