Your story can become a book too

A studio for children who write. From the first page in the notebook to the printed book.

Start a story How it works

Who writes the book

The children! Not us, and not the AI.

Every story you send is accompanied personally, step by step, all the way to the book.

The original staysThe manuscript is kept exactly as written, and never changes.
We ask, we don't fixWhen something is unclear, the author gets a question. The decision stays theirs.
Not knowing is allowed"I don't know" and "I want this to stay a mystery" are good answers.
Art by the authorWe illustrate to your brief, and after every sketch you can send refinements. A picture is worth a thousand words.

The journey from idea to book

Four steps. From the idea to sending to print can take just days, and at every step the child decides.

1
The idea and the writingA day to a week, up to youA story in a notebook, a file or a photo. We read all of it, keep spelling fixes on the side, and ask up to six questions only the author can answer.
2
The charactersA few minutesDescribe the heroes: what they look like, what they wear and what makes them special. On your own or with help, and the description stays in the child's own words.
3
The artSame dayFrom the character sheet to the full illustrations and the cover, together with you: three or four rounds of prompt refinements, and along the way you learn to create well with AI.
4
The bookUp to 3 weeks from sending to printA digital edition and an author page right away, and within three weeks the first ten printed copies are in your hands.

Our vision

To let children turn an idea, a story or a manuscript into a finished work they are proud of, and learn along the way how to write, choose, critique, improve and work well with AI.

Your story can become a real book.

We believe that in the coming years human writing will become a rare and sought-after genre, and whoever learns to nurture it today will hold something no machine can write for them.

We make dreams come true for children who want to be authors, or just to write a book. The child does not just get a product: they get ownership, visibility, readers and a path to the next book. That is how the troop was born, around Shira's book.

What we are not

Not a publisher that picks manuscripts.
Not a print shop that takes a file and prints it.
Not a generator that writes a child's story at the push of a button.
Not an open social network for children.

What we are

A troop of young authors, and a studio that accompanies each of them: from the notebook, through the questions and illustrations, to a book published under the name of the child who wrote it.

A troop without borders

The troop is international: a girl in Italy can read a story written in Israel, and a child here can read a story that came from far away. We translate and help share the children's books, in the languages they choose.

We are waiting for you. Join the troop.

How Shira's book was born

The Library of Things That Never Happened

The first book

Shira, our first author

Shira Drori, 11, wrote a book called "The Library of Things That Never Happened". Instead of correcting her story we sent her six questions. She answered every one, and stopped us where she disagreed. The book that came out is hers, from the first sentence to the last. That is how it all began.

Voices from the first book

Three real sentences from Shira's way to a book. Each one says something about how we work here.

„It still sounds like me.”
Shira, age 11
After the editing round. Watching her story come alive before her eyes moved her, and since then she only wants to keep writing and revising.
„Fix spelling and grammar without ruining her voice — don't add or change too much.”
Shira's parent
The request that became the rules of the whole studio
„You are the author, so the library's rules are yours.”
The editor, to Shira
Shira asked whether the rule she invented for the library was a good one. This was the answer, after we checked that the book loses none of its consistency.

The next line here is reserved for the next author.

Stories by young creators

Every book here was written by a child, and came out under their name.

Stories that cross languages

Every book is written in its author's language, and does not stop there: the troop translates it and helps share it in the languages the author chooses.

The studio works in Hebrew, Arabic and English, and more languages will follow.

What you should know

Four things every parent asks before their child starts writing with us.

A human editorA real person reads, asks and accompanies every step — not a machine on its own.
No gradesNobody scores the story or corrects it in red pen. This is not homework.
Private until you say soThe book stays in until the parents say it goes out.
No identifying detailsNo school, city, address or birth date is collected, and a reader cannot reach the child.

Four steps on the way to a book

Each step is a destination of its own. Stop wherever suits you.

1
Step 1
Writing in the notebook
Put your thoughts in the notebook: write, scan a page or photograph anything. Get comments, revise and improve.
No commitment: just jot the story down on a "note".
- A family account in the studio
- A personal space for your child
- Upload a manuscript, drafts and inspiration images
- An editor alongside: reading, comments and author questions
- A reserved spot on the shelf, next to "The next book"
To the writing studio
Pick up right where you left off.
2
Step 2
Describing the characters
Tell us what each character looks like, what they wear and what makes them special. On your own, or with help.
The author decides how every character looks.
- The story and character forms
- Guiding questions, for those who want help
- The description is kept in the child's own words
3
Step 3
Making the illustrations
Learn to work with an AI illustrator: build the characters from the description, send it notes, and refine until the picture feels right.
Here the story gets a face.
- A character sheet for every hero, from the description
- Illustration rounds with the author's notes
- The scene illustrations and the cover
- Learning along the way to create well with AI
4
Step 4
The book goes out into the world
A digital copy with an interactive landing page to share, and a real book from the printing house to hand out.
Here, you hold it in your hand.
The digital book
- To download and share
- An interactive author page Like Shira's page
- "I loved the book": hearts from readers
- Numbers: views, downloads, shares
- A personal mailing list: the author's readers, and messages to them
- Translation and sharing in the languages the author chooses
The printed book
- Ten copies: hardcover, A5, full color, about 24 pages
- A QR on the back cover, leading to the author's digital shelf
- A promo video and gift bookmarks with the QR
- For grandparents, the school library, the public library in town
- Print preparation, proofing and shipping, up to three weeks

Start a story

In the coming years, human writing will become a rare and sought-after genre. Whoever learns to nurture it today will hold something no machine can write for them.

That is exactly what we do here: one child, one story, one book at a time.
