Our story

Handmade in Canada, by parents like you.

Toupie was born from a bedtime story that didn't exist yet. We're building the tool we wanted for our own kids: books where they're the heroes, made in minutes — without ever sacrificing their privacy.

What we care about

Three convictions, zero compromise.

Every child, the hero

Kids rarely see themselves in their books. We change that: your child, their loved ones, their accessories — the same face from one page to the next, one book to the next.

Privacy first

Your child's photos are never kept with us. They're used to draw the character, then they're gone. Built for Law 25, by default.

Truly local

Designed and written in Canada by parents. Available in English and French. Real people who answer real emails.

Our privacy promise

We never keep your child's photos.

To draw a character, a photo passes once to our illustration provider, then it's deleted. We don't build profiles, we don't sell anything, and we never train any AI on your child's face. It's spelled out in plain language in our privacy policy.

A word, from us to you

We make Toupie the way we make books: for our own kids first. If anything ever feels off, write to us — we read every message, and we answer it ourselves.
