about three minutes to set up

Set it once. Then simply read.

01

Tell us about them

A first name or nickname, their age, and a few things they love. Add a topic to weave in too, if you like, the Romans they’re studying, or a new sibling on the way. That’s all we ever ask for, and all we ever keep.

02

Shape the story

A complete tale, or a chapter-a-night adventure that unfolds over weeks. Pick the length to suit their attention, from a quick three minutes to a longer wind-down.

03

Choose when it lands

Tell us the time that suits your family and how to send it, by WhatsApp or email. It might be bedtime, but it could just as easily be the school run, the bath, or a long drive home. A fresh one arrives each day, never the same twice.

04

Read it together

Out loud, screen-free, just the two of you. Every story also arrives as a PDF, so you can print the favourites and keep them long after they’ve grown.
