ABOUT THE APP

Curated. Not an algorithm.

SUNDAY PICKS

Six new picks, every Sunday morning.

No stars or “readers also liked.” A short note from one of our curators about the book, who it's for, and when it might land best.
“I read for days before I write a word or make a pick.”
— Amy, lead curator
TUNED TO YOUR FAMILY

A shelf that knows your child.

Tell us the books your child loves and your picks recalibrate. Folk tale fanatic? Craving more comics? Our picks whet whims and indulge passions.
Snap pics of your book shelves or covers. Connect to Yoto, or share from Aubible or Spotify.
STAY IN THE LOOP

A quiet word, when a favourite returns.

Follow the writers, illustrators, and series your child loves. We'll let you know when there's a new release or pre-order worth marking.
