How it works

From "tell me a story" to "the end" in three taps.

Storyplease handles the writing, the illustrations, and the bedtime-perfect length. You bring the people you love.

1

Add your people

Names, ages, what they're like. A reference photo makes their cartoon character look just like them.

2

Pick a story

Browse templates by category β€” Bible, life lessons, family moments β€” or write a one-line idea of your own.

3

Read together

A 2, 5, or 10-minute story with original art on every page, key moments highlighted, and follow-up questions at the end.

Real people, real stories

Your kid is the hero β€” and so is Grandma.

Add the people in your child's world once. Storyplease remembers their personality, age, and how they look, and weaves them naturally into every story.

  • Cartoon-style art that actually looks like them
  • Hobbies and interests show up in the story
  • Assign roles β€” David, the shepherd, the wise friend
M
Mia, 6
Loves dinosaurs, brave, freckles
L
Leo, 4
Soccer, dimples, very loud
A
Aunt Joy
Glasses, gardener, calm voice
J
Grandpa Joe
Cowboy hat, big laugh, kind
A magazine for two

Beautifully illustrated, made for laps and pillows.

Every story turns into pages with original art at the top and text below β€” calm, focused, and built for the way kids actually read at bedtime.

  • 3–8 illustrated pages depending on length
  • Key moments highlighted to spark discussion
  • Choose 2, 5, or 10 minutes β€” perfect for the moment

And then Mia did something brave. She walked right up to the giant, with five smooth stones tucked in her pocket and a heart full of trust.

More than reading

Stories that start conversations.

Every story ends with 2–4 follow-up questions written for your child's age β€” the kind that turn into the best 5-minute talks of the day.

  • Open-ended questions, not quiz questions
  • Tied to the lesson or theme of the story
  • A daily ritual that builds character over time

Why we built it

Bedtime is a five-minute superpower.

Storyplease started as a way to bring scripture stories to life for kids β€” putting them inside the moment instead of next to it. Today it's a library for every kind of bedtime: lessons in courage and kindness, gentle ways to talk about hard things, and brand-new stories starring the people your kids already love.

It's mobile-first, sign-in-with-just-your-email simple, and built for the tired parent at 8:42pm. The kids do the rest.

Questions, answered

Everything you might be wondering.

How does Storyplease "put my family in" the story?
Add a person once β€” name, age, personality, and an optional photo. When you create a story, pick which people are in it and (optionally) what role each one plays. The story text and the illustrations are generated together, so the characters look and act like the people you described.
Is this just for scripture stories?
No β€” scripture stories are one of several categories. We also have life lessons, character principles (courage, patience, honesty), milestone family events (a new sibling, a first day of school), and original bedtime stories. You can also write your own one-line idea and have Storyplease turn it into a full story.
How long does a story take to generate?
Usually under a minute. Each story includes a title, 3–8 illustrated pages depending on length, key-moment highlighting, and 2–4 follow-up questions.
Is it safe and age-appropriate?
Storyplease only produces kid-friendly, age-appropriate content. Stories about hard topics (like losing a pet) are written with extra care to be gentle and hopeful. You can choose age and tone for each person you add.
Do I need to create an account?
Yes β€” but there's no password. Sign in with just your email and a one-time code. That's it.
Will my stories be saved?
Yes. Every story you create is kept in your library so you can re-read favorites night after night.

Tonight's story is already starting to write itself.

Add your kids and the people they love. We'll handle the rest. Free to start β€” no card, no password.
