What happens inside

Someone small is a long way from home, and the way back runs straight through the thing that scares them. With a companion who has faced the same fear before, your child's hero takes the journey one spread at a time: a challenge, a setback, a moment where turning back would be easier, and a choice to keep going anyway.

Courage is not the absence of fear. It is going back while you are still scared.

That is the heart of Drawtopia's first book. It is written in three reading levels, so the same story grows with your child, and set in three worlds, so every hero can find the version that feels like theirs. A dedication page at the front carries your words, printed right in the book.

Good to know

What do I actually upload?

A drawing or a photo. Any drawing your child has made works: stick figures, rough sketches, messy crayon art. A clear photo or scan of the drawing is all we need. No drawing handy? Start from a favorite photo of your child instead.

Will it look like my child's drawing, or something else entirely?

Like their drawing. We enhance what your child made; we never replace it. The hero is built from their own drawing, keeping their character's look and spirit, enhanced in the style you choose.

Can I preview the book before I pay?

Yes. You can preview the first 2 pages of any story free, no credit card required, and see the full book before your printed copy is made.

Is the printed book hardcover or softcover?

Softcover. Every printed Drawtopia book is a professionally printed paperback in landscape format, light for little hands and made to be read every night. The digital edition is included in the same price.

How long does shipping take?

Physical books are printed to order and shipped to your door, and US shipping is free. You will see the delivery estimate for your address at checkout. Digital editions arrive in minutes.

What if it is not right for my family?

Every purchase is covered by our 7-day money-back guarantee. Email hello@drawtopia.ai for a full refund, and you keep the digital stories you created.

What makes a Drawtopia book different

A young girl proudly holding up her crayon drawing, with the same hero standing beside it as a finished 3D storybook character

It starts with their drawing

Upload a drawing your child made, and we build the hero from it. A photo works too, but the drawing comes first. The story starts with something your child created, not a character picked from a list.

27 ways to make it theirs

Three worlds, three art styles, three age ranges. Mix the Enchanted Forest, the Underwater Kingdom, or Outer Space with a 3D, anime, or cartoon look, and their name runs through every page.

Written for their exact age

The story text itself changes with age. Ages 3 to 6 get read-aloud lines with sounds and beats. Ages 7 to 10 and 11 to 12 get fuller text written for them. Same hero, right-sized story.

A real lesson inside the adventure

Courage at Drawtopia means going back while still scared. Every story carries a lesson your child lives through as the hero, not a name swapped into a stock story.

Made by parents, kept for years

Drawtopia is a family company, built by parents for their own kids first. Each book is printed as a softcover keepsake with a dedication page in your exact words, backed by a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Enhanced, never replaced.

Most personalized books ask your child to pick a character someone else made. Drawtopia starts with the one they already made, and builds the adventure around it.
