They draw it. We make it a real book.

Your kid draws every picture and writes every word. We clean up their pages and print a real picture book, exactly as they made it.

Have drawings that were never one story?

Art Tales turns the drawings they've already made into a storybook. Snap photos of 8 to 12 pictures and we write the story that ties them together. See Art Tales

Want it illustrated instead?

Your kid tells the story, and we create full color pictures for every page using their characters. Start the story builder

Please don't upload photos of your child, and skip school and town names. Drawings and words are all we need. Questions? hello@kidlorebooks.com
