Switch on Calm mode for a gentler page with no twinkles or drifting decorations. Helpful for sensory-sensitive kids and tired parents.
Calm mode is on. The page is holding still. Tap below to switch it back off any time.
Calm mode pauses the floating animations, drifting sparkles and gentle pulses across the whole site. Helpful for kids who are sensitive to motion, light or busy visuals, including children with vestibular or sensory sensitivities, ADHD, autism, migraines, or anyone who simply prefers a quieter, focused bedtime moment. Your stories still look magical. They just stop moving.
This switch makes the twinkly lights and floating pictures hold still, so the page feels calm and easy on your eyes. The magic stays. It just stops dancing.
Tap Calm mode anywhere to switch it on or off. Your choice is remembered on this device, and we also honour your phone or laptop's reduced-motion setting automatically.

You're on a paid plan ✨ Pick a child, pick a world, we'll do the rest. Your story auto-saves to the Library and can be exported as a printable PDF keepsake.
This is the occasion, the kind of story you're creating (day or night). Each one writes a different shape under the hood: a sleepy goodnight, a brave quest, a gentle lesson, a story that helps with a big feeling, a giggle ride, or a friendly Spooky Fun tale (giggles and gentle shivers, never nightmares, best for ages 6+). Bedtime and Adventure are free on every plan; Learning, Big Feelings, Silly Time and Spooky Fun unlock with any paid plan (or 5 Magic Moonsparks per story). Lower down you'll also pick a Story Vibe, which sets the tone. Change either any time.
Add their names once, get one-tap stories forever after.
Set up Family Circle →Save your kids' details once, one-tap stories from then on, plus your own story library.
Where your story happens. Each place has its own friends, sights and surprises. The first six worlds are free on every plan; the rest unlock on a paid plan (or 2 Magic Moonsparks per story).
How your story is shown, how many pictures you get, and how it's written. The text-first styles are free; the picture-heavy ones unlock on a paid plan (or Magic Moonsparks) because they paint many more illustrations.
The tone of the writing, calm and sleepy, or silly and bouncy. This sits on top of the occasion you picked up above ("Pick your story moment"): the occasion is what kind of story, the vibe is how it feels. Cozy and Calm, Adventurous and Exciting and Fun are free; the rest unlock on any paid plan (or 2 Magic Moonsparks per story).
How the pictures are painted. Same story, a totally different look.
How your story’s cover title is lettered. Pick for me chooses the face from your story vibe & moment; pick any other and that’s exactly what you get. Classic and Grand are free for everyone, Moonbeam adds “Pick for me” plus four more, and Dreamweave & up unlocks all twelve.
However the title is styled — wonky, calm, where it sits on the cover — always follows your story vibe and moment.
The colour look of your story's title on the cover — the same kind of bright, playful lettering you see on our sample stories. Moonlight and Ink are free on every plan; the bolder looks unlock with Moonbeam or Dreamweave (or spend one Magic Moonspark to use any look once). Pick Surprise to let us choose a lively look that suits the story. Works with whichever cover font you chose above.
How your title's letters are arranged on the cover — bouncing up and down, tilted and wonky, stacked big-then-small, and more (the playful lettering you see on our sample stories). This is the shape; the colour comes from Cover Title Style above. Or pick Surprise ✨ (a paid delight) and we'll keep the layout a secret — you'll only see the shape once your story appears.
How long the story takes to read out loud.
Reading time is a gentle guide — an illustrated page is one scene with its picture.
Here’s tonight’s story at a glance. Change anything you like, or let’s begin.
These are optional, but they make the story richer. Add them now, or skip ahead to review.

Magical, personalized bedtime stories starring your child and their favourite toy. Built so every night feels extraordinary, safe for ages 0-12, privacy-first, and ad-free for now.
"Bedtime is more than routine. It is a sacred window where imagination blooms, toys become characters, and the real world fades into wonder."
We believe every child deserves a completely unique story featuring their own name, their own toy, their own world. With 13 art styles and 10 original voices, every story is a full sensory experience that belongs entirely to your family.
