Lulu Jr. Illustory Book Making Kit, Multicolor | Create Your Own Hardcover Story

Bring Your Child’s Imagination to Print with IlluStory

Lulu Jr. IlluStory Book Making Kit empowers kids to write, illustrate, and publish their very own hardcover book. Guided by the Just Imagine: A Guide to Writing and Illustrating Your Story, young authors move from idea to story arc, sketching scenes and characters before their work is transformed into a professionally printed 7" x 9" book with up to 20 pages. With a history dating back to 1993, IlluStory has earned recognition from educators and families alike, signaling a trusted path for creative projects. The finished book can become a cherished keepsake that reflects a child’s creativity and effort, and the process is designed to be enjoyable rather than pressurized. The kit is recommended for ages 4 and up, inviting collaboration and pride without placing guarantees on outcomes.
