Why teachers love Makesake

Every detail about each child goes into their book — name, appearance, hometown, friends, and what they love.

Genuinely personalised

Not a name-swap template. Every story is written from scratch. The child’s appearance, personality, and world are woven into every page.

🎨

Their drawing in the book

A brilliant classroom activity — children draw a companion character and we paint it into every illustration. A magical keepsake of what they created.

Built for every child

We handle disability and health representation thoughtfully. A child with Down syndrome, a wheelchair user, a child with hearing aids — every child deserves to see themselves as the hero.

The companion drawing activity

Give your class 20 minutes and some textas. Ask them to draw their favourite animal, creature, or imaginary friend. That drawing becomes their companion character — painted by AI into a fully illustrated version that appears on every page alongside them throughout the story.

The original drawing is preserved as a keepsake page at the back of the book. Two things in one: a professional illustrated storybook, and a permanent record of something they made themselves.

Works from Prep/Kindy through to Year 4. One class drawing can be shared across the whole group, or each child can draw their own individual companion.
