You don't need to be a writer.
If you can send a text message, you can make them a book. Here's how it goes.
Step 1: Just talk about them
Answer a few friendly questions in your own words. What they love, what's on their mind, the name of the dog. We turn it into a story.

My granddaughter Ella. She's five.
Lovely! What's going on in Ella's world right now?

Hi, I'm Katy.
I've spent 20 years working with children, in schools, early years settings, language classrooms and outdoors. I built FlipWhizz because the stories children love most are the ones about their own lives, told by the people who love them.
“AI never talks to your child. It helps the adult who loves them.”
Read my storyQuestions people ask
What ages is it for?
Children from about 2 to 10. Tell us their age and the story, words and pictures are pitched to suit them, from gentle rhymes for toddlers to proper adventures for older children.
How long does printing and delivery take?
Printed books are made to order by our print partner and posted to your door. You'll see the delivery estimate when you order and can follow your book's progress in your library. If you need it by a date, order early or choose the digital book, which is ready to download straight away.
Can I use photos, and what happens to them?
Yes. Upload a photo and we'll use it to draw your characters so they look like your family, pets included. Your photos are only used to make your book.
Do I need to be good at writing?
Not at all. You just chat: tell us who it's for, a memory, a joke, something they love. We help you shape it into a story and you can change any word you like before it's finished.
Can I give it as a gift if I'm not the parent?
Yes, it makes a lovely gift from a grandparent, aunt, uncle or godparent. You don't need to know every detail, a name, an age and a couple of things they love is enough. The hardcover gift edition adds a personal dedication page.
Is it made by AI?
AI helps with the illustrations and with polishing the words, but you are the author. The people, memories and ideas come from you, and you see and approve every page before anything is printed. AI never talks to your child. It helps the adult who loves them.
Who owns the story?
Your names, ideas and photos stay yours. The finished book is yours to keep, read, share with family and give as a gift forever. The only thing you can't do is sell it.
