A finished tale, start to finish

This is what arrives on a Tuesday.

Milo is four. His mom told us he loves the moon and can’t sleep when it’s bright. One photo later, this is the first of his four tales this month. Notice his face: it’s the same on every page, not just the cover.

Cover: Milo sits on a rooftop under a wide-awake full moon
The cover. She saw this before she paid.
  1. Milo in bed while the moon peeks in through the window

    Milo couldn't sleep. Neither, it turned out, could the Moon.

  2. Milo on the roof handing a mug of warm milk up to the moon

    So Milo climbed up to the roof with a mug of warm milk. “For you,” he said.

  3. Milo reading a book to the moon while small stars listen

    Then Milo read the Moon his favourite story. The stars came down to listen.

  4. The moon asleep over the rooftops while Milo sleeps in his attic bed

    By the time the sun stretched, the Moon was snoring softly. And so was Milo.

Eight more pages, then the last one says goodnight to Milo by name.

How it works

Ninety seconds tonight. A new tale every week after.

No app to install. It opens in the browser on the phone you already read from.

  1. Mom reading to her daughter

    Tell us who stars.

    Their name, their age, what they're into right now, and who else belongs in the story. Ninety seconds, one question at a time.

  2. Dad showing a toddler and the dog a picture on his phone

    One photo, and we draw them.

    You'll see their cover before you're charged anything. Not right? Try another cover once, or fix the name.

  3. Three children in pyjamas reading together

    A new tale opens each week.

    Read it tonight on your phone, tap the lamp for the Night theme, print it on the weekend if they want to keep it under the pillow.

Who else is in the story

Bring the dog along. And Grandma, and the baby.

When you set up, tick who else belongs in the tales. They turn up the way they do at home: Grandma with the biscuits, the baby asleep in the next room, the dog underfoot on every other page. And now and then the dog gets a tale of his own. This is Biscuit’s.

  • Mom
  • Dad
  • Grandma
  • Grandpa
  • a sibling
  • the dog
Cover: Biscuit the dog carrying an enormous stick through an autumn park
Biscuit discovering a huge stick in the long grass

Biscuit found a stick. Not just any stick. The most important stick in the whole park.

It would not fit through the door. Biscuit tried sideways. His family tried not to laugh.

The photo, and your money

You read it. Not a chatbot.

Every tale is read aloud by you, on your sofa, in your voice. There’s no talking to it, nothing for a child to type into. It’s a picture book that happens to be about them.

  • One photo, and only one.

    We never ask for more, never for another adult, and never for a video.

  • Kept only while your tales are active.

    Deleted 30 days after you cancel. The tales already delivered stay yours.

  • Never sold. Never used to train a model of ours.

    The photo goes only to the service that draws the pictures. We open it only if you ask us to fix a tale.

  • First month, money back if the tales aren't right.

    Cancel in the first 30 days and the first month is refunded, no form, no reason. Keep what was delivered.

What should the tales lean toward?

Pick what this season is about. Change it any week.

It’s an angle, not a different product. Same Milo, same $47, a different thing on his mind.

Dogs get “Gotcha day” in place of “First day of school.”

One price. One button.

Four tales a month for one kid, or one dog.

Pause anytime. The tales you have stay.
