Talk it out, or type it

Talk or type with Storywish to shape your child's book. It asks who the story is for and about something they did lately, suggests ideas you can tap, can show you a picture first, and then makes the whole picture book.

Type it, or say it out loud

The whole book comes out of one conversation. Type in the field at the bottom of the screen, or tap the round button at its left and talk. Storywish talks back, and you can pause the call any time to type instead.

Answers you can tap

Many questions come with answers ready to tap, like Yep and Nope, so a quick reply takes one thumb.

Story ideas to pick from

Once Storywish knows who the book is for and a little about their week, it suggests ways the story could go. Tap one, tap Show more for others, or say what you have in mind. When it pitches a whole story, I like it keeps it and Come up with another one asks for a new one.

Picture to come: story ideas to tap under one of Storywish's questions.

Choose how it's told

Storywish asks whether the story should rhyme. Tap Yep and it's told in verse, or Nope for plain prose. The reading level comes from your child's age and sets how many words go on each page; if Storywish doesn't know it, you pick a level, from Pre-Reader to Fluent Reader. You can add narration to the finished book.

See a picture first

Tap See a picture first and Storywish draws the story's big moment, which becomes the book's cover. Pick another art style beside it, like Illustrated or Crayon, to see it drawn that way, or paint over one part to change just that.

Look over the pages, then make the book

Tap Continue and Storywish plans the book page by page, one line for each page. Tap a page to change its words. If you saw a picture first, you can also choose Skip to the full story.

Make my book

When it reads right, tap Make my book. Everything up to here works without an account, and this is where you sign in or sign up. Storywish then writes and illustrates the whole book, usually in two to four minutes.

A book for someone else

Pick Someone else to make a gift. Storywish asks who they are, and nothing about them is saved to your family's profile.
