Why Toupie

For the story that doesn't exist yet.

Beautiful books by authors and illustrators — nothing replaces them, and we read them every night too. Toupie is for something else: the made-to-measure story no book tells. The one that prepares, reassures, and speaks to your family's own life.

A first plane trip
The first day of daycare
A new baby arriving
A first soccer practice
Taming the dark
Saying goodbye to someone we love

Your call

The tone is yours to choose.

Calm and soothing for bedtime. Funny and a little silly for Saturday morning. Adventurous when energy runs high. Pick the tone and we adapt the pace, the vocabulary and the ending.

The shadow hunt · calm tone
Click. Rosalie switches off the flashlight. The shadows turn soft again. Rosalie slides under her duvet. Biscuit curls into a ball on her feet. Good night, room.
The maple taffy · funny tone
Rosalie leans over the snow. She blows really hard on the syrup. Pffff! Nothing. She stomps her foot even harder. Splosh! Slush flies all over Mathis's pants. “Hey!” says Mathis, stepping back.

Real pages

Here's what it looks like.

A made-up family, but these pages are exactly what Toupie made — pictures and words, no touch-ups. (Text translated from the French.)

Illustration from page 7 of “Rosalie's maple taffy”

Rosalie grabs her stick. “All by myself!” She presses down into the snow. She twirls fast, very fast, too fast! The stick slips. The taffy sticks to her mitten. It sticks to her chin. She throws up her arms and — kaboom! A long string of syrup lands on Mathis's nose.

Illustration from page 7 of “The shadow hunt”

The shadow has two little ears and a long snout. Biscuit lifts his head. He gives a tiny, happy yip. In the hallway, Mom watches and smiles.

Illustration from page 4 of “Rosalie's big-girl bike”

The handlebars turn a little to the left. The handlebars turn a lot to the right. Uh-oh. Whoops! Boom! Rosalie tumbles straight into a big pile of leaves.

FAQ

The real questions parents ask.

How does Toupie protect my child's photos?
We never store photos with us. They pass through Google Gemini to generate the cartoon, then they're deleted. Google may keep them up to 55 days for abuse detection (never to train its AI). Law 25 compliant. Read the policy →
What ages is it for?
Ages 3 to 9. We have three book sizes: Short (~8 pages, under 4), Medium (~15 pages, 4–6), and Long (~25 pages, 7+). We suggest a size based on the youngest hero's age, but you choose.
What if we don't like the story?
You can regenerate each page of text up to 5 times, or all the text 5 times. If an illustration is off, up to 3 image touch-ups per book. And you can always edit the words by hand — free.
When can I cancel?
In one click, under Account → Plan. No questions asked. Your books stay in your library forever.
Is it available in French?
Yes — the whole app, all the books, in French. You can also generate in English, page by page.
Does Toupie replace real books?
No — and that's not the goal. Books thought up and drawn by artists are irreplaceable. Toupie is for something else: the made-to-measure story you can't find anywhere — to prepare for a trip, tame a fear, or tell a moment that's all your own. A complement, not a replacement.
Is there an audio version?
No, and there won't be. Plenty of apps offer a voice that reads the story for you, and we get the appeal: some nights, you're wiped. But to us, the bedtime story is your voice — tired, tripping over a word now and then — with your kid curled up against you, stopping you to ask a question. That's the moment we don't want to automate. Toupie books are made to be read aloud. By you.
Can I get a real printed copy?
Yes. Once a book is finished, you can order a printed copy right from its page: a 7.5-inch square in full colour, softcover — or hardcover for longer books. Shipping is included and the price is shown before you pay. We deliver across Canada, and grandparents reading your share link can order their own copy, shipped to Canada, the US, Europe and a number of other countries. Even the free first book can be printed. All about printed books →
