A bedtime story your child helps shape.

1. Choose a few story details

Choose Daddy & Me or Mommy & Me, a first name or nickname, an age range, a sidekick, and a story world. The default is two short scenes. Open extra options for longer stories, a grown-up name, and optional faith themes.

Prepared choices let you begin with very little typing. Choose My own idea when you want a unique companion or detail.

2. Read a short story sample

A short sample guides each choice. The complete scenes are revealed when your story is finished. Use the read-aloud button when you want the browser to narrate, or read it in your own voice.

3. Ask the most important question

For a quick story, choose whether to build a bridge, sing to the welcome light, or send your flying sidekick. Pick a magical, cozy, or silly ending. Each prepared path has its own result. An original idea becomes a make-believe moment within the same adventure; it is not unrestricted story generation.

4. Read, listen, print, or keep it

When the final chapter is complete, read the whole story on screen, listen aloud, download a keepsake file, save it as a PDF, or print it. The finished story includes every chapter and the choices you made together. The two-scene Magic forest adventure also includes painted scene illustrations on screen and in its downloaded HTML keepsake. Other worlds currently use the story text and character artwork.

A bedtime hello, even when you’re apart

Choose Make a story to send on the homepage. A parent can make it for a child, or a child can make it for a grown-up with help. Add a little note, choose the adventure and ending, then share or copy the complete story into your own messaging app. Download a copy if you prefer an attachment.

Your story does not get a public link or a recipient account. The recipient keeps the message or file you send. Use a grown-up’s help to choose the right recipient.

Return to your story

Your current story is saved in this browser. After returning or refreshing, choose Continue saved story or Read saved story on the homepage. Starting another replaces it. Download a keepsake for a separate copy, or use Delete saved story to remove the browser save.
