For parents and grown-ups
Big feelings.
Real-life stories.
A little more connection.
Help your child find words for what they’re feeling. Explore original stories about friendship, changing families, trying again and finding courage. Choose a story that fits your child’s world, then enjoy its available reading, audio or illustrated-video editions together.
Try a 30-second audio or video preview before choosing a membership. New All-Stars memberships are $7.99/month for five complete original books to keep each paid billing month, with Look, Listen and Read. Extra complete titles are $4.99 each. Your chosen books stay in My Story Box after cancellation. The $2.99 plan includes released Read and Listen stories while subscribed, not full Look videos. Paid signup is not open yet; existing memberships and testing passes keep their promised benefits.

The planned experience
Read, Listen, Watch. Same book.
Turn the pages together.
Illustrated pages on screen for a lap-and-sofa moment. You set the pace, pause to point at pictures and talk about what might happen next.
What it is good for
Small, warm moments, more often.
The stories are written by Dr. Aaron Robinson, a former athlete whose background spans psychology, sports performance and athletic development. Meet the author.
- 01
Find a story for this moment
Search by age, title, topic or phrase—whether your child is learning to take turns, adjusting to two homes or feeling nervous about something new.
- 02
Room to choose
Some days call for a lap and a page, some for headphones, some for pictures in motion. You pick what fits the moment.
- 03
Ages kept honest
Explore the original Ages 0–2, 3–5, 5–7 and 7–10 shelves, plus separate Ages 10–12 and 12–14 Books shelves for our 20 Older Readers stories. Older Readers editions stay Coming Soon until their actual media and age-appropriate content are verified. Each story keeps its own reviewed age group; younger books are not relabeled. Reader Lab is a separate activities area.

Grown-ups stay in charge
Accounts, plans and rewards live with you. You open the family library; children do not need a separate login. Free games are available without an account.
Stories shaped by everyday life
What story would help your family?
Send a general topic suggestion to our team. Your ideas can help shape future stories. Requests do not guarantee a new book or release date.
Suggest a story topicPlease don’t include child names, photos, diagnoses, school names or private family details.
Request a more personal story
Signed-in grown-ups can send a private request inspired by a child’s interests and everyday experiences, inside the PIN-locked parent area. It is a request for review, not an order: no payment is taken, and pricing, timing and formats are agreed afterwards. Requests are removed after 30 days. Please do not send children’s photos through the contact form.

An honest answer
Why pay when free stories exist?
Free, always
Classic public-domain and openly licensed books in our Free Library stay free with no account and no paywall. They are not what a paid plan sells.
What a paid plan is for
Original characters and stories with coordinated Look, Listen and Read choices, age-group browsing, and grown-up tools like family stars and rewards. Check each book card for its currently released formats.
Compared with YouTube and other services
Many free videos and apps are lovely, and you may prefer them. The difference here is coordination and curation: matching formats of the same book, no open chat, and grown-ups managing accounts and spending.
Where things stand today
Original stories are already published. Each book card shows which Look, Listen and Read formats are released now; some titles still have formats Coming Soon. Our 20 Older Readers stories have separate Ages 10–12 and 12–14 Books shelves and remain Coming Soon until their editions are verified. See the membership page for current paid-signup availability; we are checking payment readiness.
