A sample chapter. Your child's own story is written for them, and continues every evening.

Chapter One

Chapter two arrives tomorrow evening at half six.

Not a new story every night. The next chapter.

Same character, same world, picking up exactly where you stopped — chapter thirty still remembers chapter one. It's less like a new story arriving each evening, more like getting back into a book you're already partway through. And we think that's what actually matters at bedtime: not the plot, but someone your child has come to know.

Chapter twelve, a few months in

Luna the fox looking out over moonlit reeds
Chapter Twelve · for Mia, aged 5

Luna and the Light on the Water

Luna the fox could not sleep.

Out past the reeds, something was glowing. It was not a star. Stars stay still. This light moved. It moved slowly, the way a lantern moves.

Luna the fox at the edge of the moonlit water

Luna crept down to the water. The mud was cold under her paws.

"Hello?" she called.

The light stopped. Then it came a little closer.

It was a frog. A very small frog with a very small lamp.

"I am Pip," said the frog. "And I am lost."

Luna the fox meeting Pip the frog and his tiny lamp

"Where do you live?" asked Luna.

"By the willow tree," said Pip. "But every willow looks the same in the dark."

Luna looked along the bank. She could see three willow trees. Maybe four. They all looked the same to her too.

Then she had an idea.

"Hold up your lamp," she said. "As high as you can."

Pip held it high. The little light shone out across the water. And there, in the water, was the shape of one willow tree. It had a small round door at the bottom.

"That one," said Luna. "That is your one."

Pip laughed. It was a small wet happy sound.

Pip went home. Luna went home too. She curled up in the warm hollow of the roots. She wrapped her tail around her nose. Outside, the water made a soft sound.

And Luna fell fast asleep.

Pip stays. He's in chapter 13, and he's still there at chapter 30.

"Typical" means the common pattern across nightly story emails and AI story apps we've reviewed. Things change — if you spot something out of date, tell us and we'll correct it.

How it works

1

Tell us about them

First name, age, a few things they love, and who their character should be. Two minutes, once.

2

Chapter one, right away

Written and illustrated, then delivered by email at the time you pick below.

3

Every evening after

The next chapter lands at the time you choose — 5:30 to 7:30, your timezone.

4

It ends up as a book

Chapters keep stacking up. Whenever you've got enough, collect them into a real printed book with their name on the spine.

It doesn't have to be a screen

You hold the phone, not your child — it's a script for reading aloud, the same as a book. But if you'd rather no screen at all, that's covered too.

Print tonight's

One link, one clean page. Read it off paper, no device in the room.

The book Soon

Once you've got enough chapters, the whole story bound properly — their name on the spine.

I'm not a parent.

I'm the kid who got read to. Same chair, same three books on rotation, my mum doing all the voices badly on purpose because I'd correct her if she didn't. I don't remember much about being five. I remember that.

It took me a long time to notice what it actually cost her — up since six, the same book more times than either of us could count, and some nights one she made up herself because she couldn't face page one again. Those were the ones I liked best, which I didn't realise was unfair until years later.

This isn't meant to replace her — she was the whole point, and nothing read by a phone comes close. It's just the story, already written, at the right level, so the hard part's done before you sit down.

You still do the voices. That part's yours.

What we store about your child

A first name, an age, and up to five interests. That is the entire list. No surname, no birthday, no photographs, no address, no location. It's used to write their story and nothing else, it is never used to train any AI model, and it's deleted the day you cancel. Reply to any email and I'll delete it sooner.

Questions

Is AI-written content actually any good for children?

Fair question, and there's a lot of bad AI children's content about. Ours is written to a tight brief: short, simple sentences for a three-year-old, longer ones as they get older, gentle plots, always ending with the character settling down to sleep. Every chapter is checked before it sends.

But don't take my word for it. Put your child's name in at the top of this page and read one. It's instant and costs nothing, and you'll know straight away whether it's for you.

Are the stories written by a person?

No. They're written by AI, to a brief I wrote and keep tuning, and checked automatically before sending. I'm telling you plainly because you'd work it out, and because I'd rather be the one who said it.

What AI buys you is that it can be nightly, personal to your child, and continuous across hundreds of chapters. No human could write a different story for every subscriber every evening. That's the trade, and you should decide if it's a good one — after reading a chapter, not before.

Isn't this just screen time?

You hold the phone, not your child. It's a script for reading aloud, the same as a book, and the illustration is there so there's something to look at while you read.

If you'd rather no screen at all: every chapter has a print link that gives you one clean page, and on Sundays you get the week as a little printable booklet. Some families never read it off a device at all.

Why not just use ChatGPT for free?

You genuinely can, and some people should. Two things you'd be doing yourself. First, remembering — every single night, at the hour you least want another task. Second, continuity: ours picks up from chapter 47 without you having to explain who Luna is or what happened at the lighthouse.

It's the difference between a story generator and a book.

What if a chapter is scary or wrong?

Every chapter is checked before it sends and regenerated if anything's flagged. If one gets through anyway, reply to the email. I read every reply personally, and I'll fix it and refund you the month.

What happens if we miss a night?

Nothing. It's an email. Read it in the morning, read two on Saturday, or skip it entirely — the next chapter still comes. There's no streak to break and nothing to catch up on.

Going away? Reply "pause" to any email and it stops until you say otherwise.

How do I cancel?

One click, from the link at the bottom of every email. No phone call, no form, no offers to win you back. Within the first 14 days you get a full refund as well — just reply and ask.

My children are different ages — can they share it?

Yes — one subscription, and read it to as many children as you like. It's one story and one character, so it works best when the age gap isn't huge, but most families' bedtimes aren't run by reading level anyway.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes — three months for £17.99, paid once. Good for a birthday, Christmas, a new baby, or no reason at all. You just enter their email; we send them a link and they fill in their own child's name, age and interests, so it's exactly right rather than guessed at. No payment details are needed from them, and it never renews on its own.

Somewhere around eight, they stop asking. You don't get told when the last one was. It's just that at some point there isn't another.
