Loved by families
Real stories from real families.
The best proof is the detail kids ask to keep: a pet dragon, a space slug, a horse best friend, the fairy story that gets read again.

Why StorySafari
Make your own children’s books.
Create personalized storybooks to read, print, and keep.
Characters that feel familiar
Stories can include your child, siblings, friends, pets, and characters they invent.
Pictures on every page
Each scene gets an illustration kids can inspect while the words catch up.
Read your book together
Find your finished storybook in your library and return to favorite pages.
A printed book to keep
Order a full-color copy of your finished story for your shelf or a gift.
After the story
Some pages get read once. Some come back tomorrow.
Finished stories can stay in the library, travel to family, or become a book on the shelf.
Print the keeper
Order a full-color book with every illustration and your child's name on the cover. See personalized printed books for kids and families, make a personalized birthday gift book, create a keepsake gift for a grandchild, or start a personalized Christmas book. There are keepsakes for a new baby and a niece or nephew too. Start from a photo, or see every book gift.

The grown-up bits, plainly.
What ages is StorySafari for?
StorySafari is designed for children roughly ages 3-11, with stories you read together or your child reads along with. If you want the read-aloud side done well, our reading aloud tips by age cover what works from toddlers through age ten.
How much does it cost?
StorySafari is free to download from the App Store, with options to create more stories inside the app. On the web, your first story and cover are free to preview. Illustrations start at $1 for 12 pictures, credited toward a printed book, and printed books start at $7 for a standard-color softcover; longer layouts may cost more. Shipping and tax are calculated at checkout. Additional stories start at $7, paid before creating, or subscribe for $11.99/month for unlimited digital stories.
What devices does it work on?
StorySafari works on iPhone and iPad — download it free from the App Store. You can also create stories and order printed books right in your browser with the StorySafari web creator.
Can I print the stories?
Yes. You can order beautifully printed keepsake books of the stories your child creates.
Are there parental controls?
Yes. Grown-up actions like buying credits or ordering a printed book are protected behind a "Grown-ups Only" gate that asks for a number code, so kids can create and read on their own without stumbling into purchases.
Can I limit how many stories my child creates?
Yes. In Parental Controls you can turn on "Limit story creation," choose how often it resets, and set how many stories are allowed per period. Reading finished stories is always unlimited.
How does StorySafari compare to other story apps?
The main difference is who makes the creative choices: your child decides the hero, the cast, and what goes wrong, rather than picking a name to drop into a fixed template. We wrote up the alternatives ourselves — see the best personalized story apps and the best AI story generator for kids, both of which say where other apps beat us.
