Coming soon: a new story with your child as the hero

You design the character from a fixed set of options. We never ask for a photograph. Then you pick the kind of hero, and we write a brand new story around them. We are not taking orders yet. Join the waitlist and we will email you when it opens.

For the grown-up doing the reading

Every story tells you how long it takes, what age it suits, and how frightening it is on a scale of nought to five. There are questions to ask afterwards, and a short version for the nights when there is no time.
