Illustrated Storybooks

A storybook written for exactly how you read

The picture-book method that teaches children to read — bilingual text, rich illustration, contextual meaning — built for adults who'd rather read a story than grind through drills.

02 — THE MANUSCRIPT IS WRITTEN

TailoredReaders writes & illustrates it

An original story and watercolor illustrations, generated around your interests and vocabulary goals.

03 — READ, KEEP, RETURN

Read side-by-side, download the PDF

Read each line beside its translation, then keep the finished storybook, yours forever.

A page, in your two languages

Every storybook is illustrated cover to cover and typeset like a book you'd keep on a shelf. Original text on one page, its translation on the facing page, so the meaning is always a glance away.
