Your kid is already an author.
Let's make it official.
Upload photos of your child's drawings. We turn each one into a storybook-style illustration, lay it all out as a real book — cover, pages, page numbers — and ship you a PDF. You set the price, starting at $9.
"Tomorrow is the weekend! Yay! Yay! Yay!"
Three steps to a book they'll keep forever
1. Upload their drawings
Snap a photo of each page — their drawings, their story pages, in any order. Add a title and their first name as author.
2. Watch it come alive
Every drawing gets a storybook-style treatment that keeps their characters and ideas front and center — preview the original next to the "alive" version.
3. Get a real book
A proper cover, numbered interior pages, their words alongside the art — laid out as a real book PDF, ready to read or print.
Real drawings, real books
No stock art, no invented stories — these are actual kid drawings next to the storybook illustration KidShelf made from them.
