Not every bedtime needs a king or a crocodile. Sometimes a child wants a story about a kid like them: a first soccer match, a Diwali in Toronto, a mooncake festival, a digital-detox dare, a camping trip where the forest talks back. These original stories star children of many backgrounds and take about two minutes to read aloud.
Each one is written for ages 4 to 8, with free narration, a quiz and three questions for parents. They are the stories to reach for on a school night when you need something short, kind and new.
