A new chapter for Kami and Book Creator
Today, I’m excited to share that Book Creator has joined the Kami family.
This is a milestone for both of our teams, but most importantly, for the millions of teachers and students who rely on our tools every day. Kami and Book Creator have always stood for the same thing: giving every learner a voice, making classrooms more engaging, and empowering teachers.
Now, together, we are building something stronger: an accessible, everyday Classroom Learning Platform for expression, engagement, and evidence.
From a simple idea to a global classroom platform
Kami began as a simple PDF sidekick. A tool built not to replace teachers, but to support them. Over the last thirteen years, it has grown into a platform trusted by 92% of US schools and used by over 50 million.
Our mission continues today. To make learning more engaging, inclusive, and collaborative for every learner. Whether evolving Kami into the home for interactive classwork and time-saving workflows, or launching Kami Companion for accessible self-directed learning across the web, we’ve stayed focused on helping teachers and students thrive.
Why Book Creator? Why now?
Book Creator is one of the most loved tools in education. Over 200 million books have been created by students using it to tell stories, build portfolios, reflect on learning, and share their thinking in their own voice. It’s joyful, accessible, and easy to use.
Teachers today are expected to deliver personalised, accessible lessons with limited time and support. At the same time, students are being asked to show their learning in more authentic and multimodal ways.
Book Creator fits this moment perfectly. It brings expressive, creative learning into the heart of the classroom. And with Kami, it now becomes part of something bigger:
- Kami unlocks interactive learning and time-saving workflows
- Book Creator empowers student demonstration of learning and self-expression
- Kami Companion extends accessibility and self-directed learning across the web
Together, these tools provide a powerful solution that complements existing LMSs, curriculum, and learning resources to help schools deliver more engaging, inclusive learning experiences at scale.
What changes today?
Very little, and that’s by design.
- Keep using Kami and Book Creator as you always have
- Accounts, content, and billing stay the same
- The same teams and tools are here to support you
What’s new is the opportunity. By bringing these tools closer together, we can unlock even more ways for students to learn and for teachers to thrive.
Looking ahead
This is just the beginning. Kami, Book Creator, and Kami Companion will evolve together, guided by what teachers need and students deserve.
Our vision is simple. We want to build an everyday Classroom Learning Platform that helps every student engage, express, and show evidence of their learning. A platform where teachers have more time, classrooms feel more inclusive, and student voices shine.
What’s new is what’s possible.
