Story writing for kids

Help your child write their own book, not an AI's

In Hridaa, children plan with a drawing story board, write every word themselves, and get gentle questions from Owl when they are stuck. AI only adds the pictures.

Children grow as writers by writing. That is why Hridaa's writing studio never writes the story for them. Owl, the reading buddy, asks good questions ("What does your hero want most?"), and the child decides. Spelling and flow help is optional and only with their permission.

Younger writers can start with the Story Board: draw rough pictures card by card, drag in characters and arrows, and Hoot reads the board back as a plan. Older writers get chapters, a title page, a dedication and a blurb, and can ask a parent to publish their finished book to the family-safe Story Gallery.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Plan on a story board

    Draw each scene on cards, add characters, feelings and arrows.

  2. Step 2

    Write it yourself

    Chapter by chapter, with questions from Owl instead of answers.

  3. Step 3

    Make it a real book

    AI pictures, a cover, a blurb, a printable PDF and, with a parent's yes, the Story Gallery.

How we keep children safe

Questions parents ask

No. In My Story the words are your child's. Owl asks questions, and optional help only fixes spelling and flow when your child asks.

A drawing board where children sketch each scene on a card, add characters and arrows, and Hoot reads the plan back to help them start writing.

Only if your child asks and you approve. Published books show just a first name and age group.
