About this book

Sketch Book Talesmakes personalized kids books from children's drawings. You upload a drawing — a dragon, a fox, a family of stick figures — and it becomes a real storybook starring that drawing, with a story written around it. Add the movie version and the book is narrated on screen, too.

This journal is the notebook that goes with the store. We write for parents and grandparents: which drawings turn into the best books, what to give for a birthday or Christmas, how the book and the movie are actually made, and how to keep a child drawing in the first place. Every story here is built the same way: a real question, a straight answer, and the honest caveats the polished pages leave out.

The book is $19.99, the movie is $34.99, and the two together are $44.99. Nothing on this site is a course or a funnel. It is a journal with a shop attached — sketchbooktales.com.
