Short bedtime stories, written fresh every night
Every story is written from scratch for the night it is read, never pulled off a shelf. We illustrate it and read it aloud in a voice you choose. One story a night, then lights out.
How it works
Start with one idea
An age, and something to build the story around. Nothing else to fill in.
We write and draw it
A short bedtime story with pictures, in about a minute. You can pick the art style and the reading voice.
Read it together, then lights out
Read it to your child, or let the voice read it to you both. One story a night, so the answer to “another one” is already settled.

Meet Nimbus
Somebody has to be sleepier than everyone else in the room
Nimbus is a cloud sheep who is always seconds away from falling asleep. He turns up in the app to hand over the story, yawns his way through the last page, and is out cold before the end.
He gives bedtime a gentle ending. The story slows down, Nimbus drifts off on the last page, and your child has a friend to follow into sleep.
He appears on the last page of every story, so closing the book is his idea rather than yours.
