Where to tonight?

Six rooms, one family, one pen. Tap a room and the pen draws you there.

Three steps to a finished book.

No blank page, and no drawing skill needed. You bring the people and the idea. TuckABook does the writing and the pictures, and reads it aloud if you ask.

  1. Add your people.

    Upload a few photos of whoever belongs in the story: a partner, a best friend, a grandparent, the kids, the dog. Each one becomes a character, and TuckABook locks in how they look. From then on they are the same on every page, in every book.

  2. Say what it’s about.

    An occasion, a place, a line someone said at dinner. That is enough to start. The pen writes the story, draws the pictures and reads it out loud. You steer as much or as little as you like.

  3. Read it tonight.

    The pictures fill the whole phone screen, and it reads itself out loud if you want. One link sends it to anyone who should see it, however far away. Then it is tucked onto your shelf, and it stays yours.

A book for every reason.

Five books we made with TuckABook. Tap one, press play, and it reads itself to you. Then make yours, starring your own people.

Made by TuckABook with made-up families. Your books star your own people.

Who’s coming?

Everybody gets a part.

The six in a row, in cut paper: Dad, Theo, Mom, June, Biscuit and the cat.
  • DadHolds whatever is hot, slippery or dragon.
  • TheoPoints at the couch, says “dragon”, and that settles it.
  • MomLookout. Sees it first: the island, the moon, the way home.
  • JuneSays she is too old for this, then takes the wheel.
  • BiscuitGets the funniest job and never gets a seat.
  • The catComes anyway, says nothing, and takes the best seat.

A made-up family, drawn for these pages. Your books star your own people.

The pen

How ink works.

Plenty of ink

One pen, refilled on a schedule, instead of a charge for every page. The gauge shows what is left in words, never in numbers.

Ink color

One pen, four inks. Whichever you pick draws every line on these pages.

Refilled every Monday.
A fresh week of making, arriving like a gift. Never a countdown.
A book drinks ink.
Writing, pictures and narration each take some as you go.
Fixes take a drop.
Touch-ups barely move the gauge, so a careful night stays cheap.

Drawn once

The same dog. Every single page.

Take a few photos. TuckABook draws your dog once, from the front, from the side and face on, then locks that drawing in. Every picture in every book afterward is drawn from it. Same ears. Same patch over the eye. Same ridiculous grin. It works the same way for every person you add.

An ordinary phone photograph of a black Labrador lying in the sunlit grass of a back garden.
A second phone photograph of the same Labrador, sitting up on a kitchen chair in flat indoor light.
A third phone photograph of the same Labrador, close up and a little soft, looking straight into the camera.
1. Three photos you already have
The locked drawing of the same Labrador at three angles: face, front and side, all in one consistent style.
2. One locked drawing, three angles
A storybook page of the same Labrador watching the sun go down over a lake, in flat poster-like color.A storybook page of the same Labrador lying among a flock of sheep, painted in soft realistic light.A storybook page of the same Labrador resting his head beside a duckling. Same face, same collar, page after page.
3. Every page after that

The photographs are deleted 30 days after that drawing is locked. What happens to your photos

One TuckABook free. Then the whole shelf.

A month of TuckABook costs about what one hardcover picture book costs. The difference: the shelf keeps filling, the people you love are in the pictures, and the books are ready the same night.
