Young Authors by Tiny Teach Press

Your kid's story. Their words. A real book.

Most "personalized" books drop a child's name into someone else's story. Here, your kid is the author. They tell the story, we ask the questions, make the pictures and print it.

How it works

Two ways in, one rule: the kid approves first

Already have the story written? Send it. Still in their head? We'll pull it out together in a short, fun story interview.

  1. Tell us the storySend what's written, or book a 20–30 minute story interview.
  2. Your kid approves itWe fix spelling and organize. Nothing changes without their OK.
  3. We make the picturesCharacters first, so your family approves how the hero looks.
  4. Hold the bookA printed book they can hold up and say "I made this."

Our promises to parents

Built for kids, run through grown-ups

Parents only

Every form, payment and approval goes through you, never your child. We only ask for what the book needs.

No photos needed

We describe your child in words to design their character. Hair, skin tone and features get approved before any scene is made.

Their story, their rights

Your child owns the story. Voice recordings are used only for their book, and deleted when you ask.

Illustrations are made with AI image tools, selected and art-directed by our team. We tell you that up front.
