Why we built this

A note from the parents behind TellMeStories

Bedtime used to be the hardest part of our day. We wanted stories that made our own kids feel truly seen, not another app and not another screen to fight over.

So we built the thing we wished existed: a story where your child is the hero, written in the time it takes to brush their teeth, and printed as a real book when they fall in love with it.

The little companion you’ve met along the way is here for one reason only: to carry the story to your child, then step aside — so the spotlight stays where it belongs. On them.

— The TellMeStories family

Your questions

Everything parents ask us

Is it really right for my child?

Yes. Every story is gentle, kind and matched to the age you set — no violence, no needless fear, no ads. You stay fully in control.

How does it work?

You start a chat, tell us your child's name and age, and the story arrives in the chat in under 2 minutes. Nothing to install.

What ages is it for?

Best from 2 to 8. The tone, vocabulary and length adapt to your child's age.

Do I need to subscribe?

No. Your first story is free, and you can simply order your child’s printed book: $24.90, delivered. The plan for a new story every night is optional: it starts with a free trial and you can cancel in one tap.

Which languages?

French and English today. You choose the language of every story.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. We only use the details to create your child's story, never for anything else.

Can I personalize the name and the hero?

Yes. You choose your child's name and the hero's details — every story is unique and written just for them.

Is every story different?

Always. Each story is generated on demand: same theme, new adventure. Your child never reads the same one twice.

What devices does it work on?

All of them: everything happens in a simple chat, on phone, tablet or computer. No app to install, no updates.

TellMeStories creates personalized stories for children that turn your child into the hero of every adventure.
