Sit back and enjoy as your choice of narrator creates an immersive and fun bedtime experience.

Here's one we made earlier

The Reddest Strawberry

Starring

Maya, 7

Grandad Joe

Maya pressed her nose right up to the strawberry plant and frowned. The berries were green. All of them. Every single one. "Grandad Joe," she said, "I think ours might be broken." Grandad Joe pushed back his flat cap and looked at the raised bed they had planted together that very morning — the good dark soil, the little plants in their neat row, and twelve small green berries no bigger than Maya's thumbnail.

Your child, drawn into the story

Add them once and they become a storybook character — here's what that actually means.

Always a drawing
Never a photo-real picture of your child. Our illustrator draws them as a storybook character, in the same hand as every other page.
The photo is deleted
The moment the drawing exists, the photo goes. Only the character is kept, and you can remove that any time.
The same in every story
Same face, same hair, same favourite jumper — on every page, in every story you make afterwards.
