Once upon a time, your child asked for a story about a dinosaur who lost his roar — and got a whole illustrated book about it, starring them. Then they read it aloud, all by themselves. Upon A Time creates personalized picture books that teach young children to read. Tell it who your little one is, pick a story idea together, and in about a minute the app writes, illustrates, and binds a brand-new book onto your family's shelf — written at exactly the level your child can decode. BUILT TO GROW READERS • Choose a reading level from first-words to confident reader; stories are written with the rhythm, repetition, and refrains that early-reader books use to make reading click • Phonics highlighting colors the sound patterns inside words • Tap any word to hear it spoken — curiosity becomes practice • Read to Me: a warm storyteller voice reads each page while every word lights up in turn, connecting sound to print THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN STAR • Build a cast: your child, siblings, grandparents — even the family dog • Add a photo or a short description so each character looks like themselves on every page, in every book • Stories weave in each character's name, age, and the things they love • Every book gets its own cover art and ends with a classic "The End" A REAL BOOK FEEL • Page-curl turns, two-page spreads in landscape, illustrations painted right into the page • Pages never turn by themselves; little hands stay in charge BUILT FOR FAMILIES • Your first 2 stories are free; a Story Pack adds 10 more with a simple one-time purchase — no subscription • Books live on your iPad or iPhone and work offline once created; narration is saved on-device, so favorite books replay instantly • Watch new books being made right on the shelf, and keep reading while you wait • No ads, no links, nothing to wander into — and it works with Guided Access, so story time stays story time Five minutes to a new book.
