Writing a bedtime story your child stars in used to take an evening. With TellTales it takes a minute. A fresh five-chapter tale, illustrated and narrated, ready before their eyelids get heavy.

How bedtime becomes magic

Three minutes to craft. A lifetime to remember.

①Meet the hero

Name, age, a photo or a few words. Their character stays consistent — same curls, same brave eyes — across every chapter.

②Pick tonight's lesson

Bravery for the first sleepover. Patience for waiting on the new baby. Choose one of five gentle blueprints.

One consistent face

Character-consistency magic keeps your little hero looking like themselves in every illustration — the same freckles, the same chin.

Warm voice, soft eyelids

Every story arrives with a storyteller's narration — warm, unhurried, tuned to send wiggly listeners gently off to sleep.

A real hardcover keepsake

Turn any favourite tale into a linen-spined, glossy-page book. Printed on demand, shipped to your door, kept forever.

Stories of children who found their spark.

Five gentle blueprints — bravery, honesty, patience, kindness, persistence — woven into an adventure your child lives as the main character.

Honesty

Telling it true, even when the truth is hard.

Bravery

Facing what goes bump in the dark — and the classroom.

Patience

Waiting, watching, letting good things grow slowly.

Kindness

Seeing the lonely friend, helping the smaller one.

Persistence

Trying once more when it would be easier to stop.
