Bilingual foldbook · Printable PDF download

Treasure every story you love

Print the stories you’ve walked through as a bilingual foldbook — downloadable PDF, made on A4.

Five-step illustration: print the A4 sheets, glue and join, fold accordion-style, wrap in the cover, finish a bilingual foldbook.

Shape it for the keepsake you want

Before exporting the PDF, every field below is adjustable — so each copy becomes specifically "for this person, for this moment."

  • Cover image

    Pick from the story illustrations or upload your own photo (a portrait, a keepsake, a meaningful moment).

  • Original title (L2)

    Freely rewritable — add a name, a nickname, or a personalized version.

  • Translated title (L1)

    Freely rewritable, paired with the L2 title.

  • Subtitle / tagline

    A short line for a dedication or occasion (e.g. "For Anna, with love").

  • Cover inscription

    A free-form text area for dedications, dates, or a note to someone.

  • Vocabulary page

    Optionally include an L2/L1 vocabulary page with IPA and example sentences — a natural after-reading extension.

Fold it into a storybook in 5 steps

Use a few sheets of A4 paper in landscape (typically 4–6, depending on story length), printed single-sided. Glue, fold, wrap in the cover. 120–160 gsm paper holds folds more crisply.

  1. Print the A4 layout sheets

    The exported PDF contains a few landscape A4 interior sheets (typically 4–6) plus 1 cover sheet. Single-sided printing is enough.

  2. Apply glue at the marked edges

    Follow the "GLUE" marks on each sheet and join all sheets back-to-back to form one continuous strip.

  3. Fold accordion-style

    Following the fold guides, alternate mountain and valley folds to shape the strip into a foldbook body.

  4. Wrap the cover sheet around the spine

    Slide the folded interior into the cover sheet — it naturally wraps to form the front and back covers.

  5. Done

    Your bilingual foldbook is ready — standing open for reading, or flat on a shelf as a keepsake.
