Your child tells you about their day. My Holiday Log turns their exact words into a story, a comic strip starring them — and, by the end of the holidays, a real printed book they wrote themselves.
£24 once, yours forever·No subscription·14-day refund·Private by design·Any phone, tablet or laptop
Not another game. Not another screen babysitter. A five-minute family ritual that quietly keeps their reading, writing and maths alive through every school holiday.
Your child tells you their day — the microphone writes down every word.
Their sentences become the story, the captions — even the word to spell and the sum.
One page, six pictures, with their cartoon self jumping, cheering and grinning.
Every day is an A4 page. When the holiday ends, print the lot — they wrote a book.
Plus a one-tap worksheet for any day — phonics on the sound they're working on, maths at their level, handwriting from their own story. One child or all the siblings — each gets their own book.
They talk, the app writes. One sparkly button turns their words into the story and the comic. Five minutes on the sofa is the whole job.
A kind voice reads their story back. Letter tiles cheer when they spell the word of the day. The maths is about their pancakes.
Every day lays out on A4 — print one day, a worksheet, or the whole book. One tap downloads a backup so it's never lost.
£24 once. Guest checkout, no account, no subscription. Your download lands in your inbox — start the same evening.
"Tell me ALL about your day!" The app hands you the questions that get kids talking — what was the best bit, who was there, what did they say?
Press the magic button. Their sentences become the story and the comic captions, scenes and poses are picked for you, and their character walks straight into the pictures.
The app reads their story back in a kind voice, letter tiles cheer when they spell the word of the day — and one more tap prints today's worksheet.
These pages are from my own son's log — Aston, age 5. He told me his day; this is what came out. Made together in about ten minutes, start to printed page.
Today I started my day with swimming.
It was SO good — NO floats! And I jumped in the pool!
My swimming teacher said, "You'll be swimming like a fish in no time!"
I have read 6 books!
I got my certificate AND a medal! Hooray!
…plus his word of the day (medal), his pancake sum, and the comic →
"I'm Natasha — a mum in London. Last summer my son came home from six weeks of adventures and could barely remember any of them. And his teacher told me the 'summer slide' is real: kids lose months of reading over the holidays.
So this year I started writing his days down in his own words — with a word to spell and a sum to tap, hidden inside. He started begging to do his log. Reading his own sentences back. Correcting my spelling of his teacher's name.
Friends kept asking for it. So I turned it into this — the app I wish someone had handed me."

If you can send a text, you can do this. Your child talks, you press the sparkly button, the app does the drawing, reading-aloud and printing.
Any phone, tablet or laptop with a web browser. Want it to feel like an app? Open it on your phone and tap Add to Home Screen — it installs with its own sunshine icon, opens full-screen and works offline, just like an app from the store (with none of the store's fees or accounts).
No — one copy does the whole family. Each child gets their own book, their own characters and their own reading level, and you switch between them on the home screen.
Then you miss days — it's the holidays! There's no streak to lose and no guilt. The book counts the days you DID do, and ten is already a wonderful book.
Made for roughly 4–8. The setup asks their age, reading level and what they're working on (phonics sounds, counting, adding…) — the words, sums and worksheets tune themselves to match.
Tap the big microphone and your child just talks — it works best in Chrome or Edge. The speech-to-text is your browser's own built-in service; we never see, store or receive anything. Little voices sometimes need a grown-up to repeat a sentence — or just type.
Nowhere. Stories live only on your device, and the one-tap backup gives you a file you keep wherever you trust. No cloud, no accounts, no analytics. The app reminds you to back up every few days so the book is never at risk.
Yes — every day lays out on A4 with the comic on its own page. At the end of the holidays, print the lot and have it bound at any print shop for a few pounds. Best. Present. Ever.
