Turn your child’s idea into their own book.
They imagine it. Pickatale helps them write it, illustrates every page, and turns their story into a real book they can read, share or print.
Real book. Made by your child.
Created by kids. Kept by families.
and a rusted tin box under the old oak. Inside: a coin, a faded photo,
and a folded note. Who buried it? Why? A child 100 years ago,
your daughter decided.
Someone just like her.
She asked if she could write about it.
That is Pickatale Create.
Any idea. Any child. A real book.
A library that grows with them.
Every child gets their own account and their own reading fingerprint. Real books from world-class publishers, matched to what they love and how they read. And when no library has quite the right story, they can create it themselves.
One subscription. Up to four fingerprints.
No more sharing accounts. No more reading at the wrong level. Each child gets their own profile, their own stage and their own shelf, from day one.
Some children do not want to read a story. They want to be in one.
Remember the treasure under the old oak? That child made a book about it. Yours can too — any idea, any character, any world, in seconds.
Already a Pickatale reader? Created books live in your library alongside your favourites.
How it works
Create a profile for each child
Takes two minutes. Pick their name, age and what they love. That is their fingerprint.
We build their first shelf
Matched to their age, stage and interests from day one. No guesswork, no wrong level.
They read. The shelf adapts.
Every book they finish teaches Pickatale more about what they love. The library never runs out.
Read or listen
Every book can be read independently or listened to, with words highlighted as they are spoken.
At their pace
Adjustable reading speed, and a plain-text option for children who find illustrations distracting.
Built-in comprehension
Short, friendly questions after each book. No grades — just a gentle check-in.
My daughter doesn’t ask if she can read a book anymore. She asks if she can make one.
