At night the story reads itself aloud: the screen dims to one warm page, and when it
ends, that page becomes the nightlight. Then it's over.
The screen sleeps when the story does.
Night one
Make tonight's hero
A few little choices. That's all it takes for the story to be theirs.
The story holds one small astronaut, or two. Same night, same story, both of them in it.
How a night goes
The last page is the nightlight
Read together, slowly. Their names are in the telling,
and the ending turns the screen off. Tap through tonight's.
Who's leading tonight's adventure?
The end.
touch the star
It's over when it's over. There's no next episode.
The story: The Star That Slipped
A star comes loose and lands on the hill behind the house.
Putting it back takes a helmet to carry it in, a long walk up,
and one good reach at the top. The sky keeps it lit all night
as a thank-you. And the small astronauts on that hill are your
kids.
On helping something home.
Made, not generated
The spreads are painted and the voice reading them is warm.
Your kids are drawn the same way on every page, and when
it's done, it's theirs.
Repetition is the point
Young children ask for the same story again because that's
how they love it. This one is made to be worn smooth.
Who's starring tonight
The story reads either way, any night: one tap, and tonight
it stars the other child. It's part of the story, always.
The keepsake album
The finished story comes with its keepsake album, and the
album is theirs to keep.
Their story, made once
$49once, narration and keepsake album included
The story is about your kids: one small astronaut or two, drawn the same way on every page.
It reads itself aloud at night, and the last page becomes the nightlight.
One tap decides who's starring tonight. That never costs extra.
Fourteen nights to be sure. If it isn't the story they ask for again, tell us and we refund it in full.
For grandma, grandpa, the fun aunt, the fun uncle: a story about
the kids is a very good gift. The family builds their own heroes,
and the story is made about them.

What parents ask
Who's it made for?
Ages three to six, give or take. Old enough to want to be the
hero, young enough to ask for the same story again tomorrow.
A younger sibling grows into it; an older one still reaches
for the good ones.
A screen? At bedtime?
At night it reads itself aloud. The screen dims to one warm page, or nothing at
all, and the last page becomes the nightlight. It's made to end at lights-out
instead of stretching past it, and nothing autoplays or hands out rewards.
Can both of my kids be in it?
Yes. The story holds one small astronaut or two, in every page
that matters. And who's leading is a choice you make at bedtime:
one tap, and tonight the story stars the other child. That's
part of the story, not an extra.
Why not just ask an AI to write one?
You can. You'll also be the writer, editor, and narrator every
night, with pictures that never look the same twice. This is the
opposite: one story held to taste, your kids drawn the same way
on every page, read aloud in a warm voice that ends at
lights-out. Made to be loved a second time, not generated once
and forgotten.
What if she asks for the same story every night?
Then it's working. Repetition is how young children love
stories, and this one is made to be worn smooth. Some nights it
can star one of them, some nights the other.
What exactly do I get for $49?
The finished story: illustrated, narrated, your kids as the
heroes, read at bedtime from one warm page. And the keepsake
album of it, theirs to keep. One payment, nothing recurring.
What if my kids don't take to it?
Then it shouldn't cost you anything. You have fourteen nights
to be sure: if it isn't the story bedtime asks for again, tell
us and we refund it in full.
Can I give it as a gift?
That's half the point. "Give the story" wraps the whole thing:
the family builds their own heroes, the story is made about
their kids, and the album is theirs to keep. Nothing to set up
on your side.
What's in the keepsake album?
The story with your kids drawn in it: their avatars, their
moments, their names. It's theirs to keep.
Do you ever see my child's name or face?
Never a photo. The avatar is built from parts, by you. Their name has one
job: telling the story. We never sell it, share it, or keep it past your
say-so.
