A real story
See how the story feels
Choose the child, the reading level and the moment. The words, pictures and pace follow them. Turn the pages, then make a choice for the hero.
Elsie wanted to make three big loops with her new kite above the bright sea. ‘Wiggle and wobble!’ she cried. A warm gust yanked the handle from her hand.

What parents notice first
My 5-year-old recognised herself in the pictures straight away. Bedtime has been calmer ever since: she actually asks for 'her story' now. We use it most evenings.
We created one for our little one. He loved seeing himself in the pictures. We use it two or three times a week at bedtime.
Less resistance at bedtime. She feels special because the story is about her. We've done four stories so far.
My 9-year-old still asks for a story most nights. The stories have grown with him: a bit more adventure, still cosy. It's become part of our routine and I don't see him outgrowing it anytime soon.

Questions parents ask
Do I need to sign up to try it?
No sign-up form. Choose who the story is for and what it's about, then add your email and we'll make it. We set up a free account under that email so you can find the story again.
How long does making a story take?
Most families finish the steps in a few minutes. The words, pictures and narration are ready shortly after.
What age is My Story Wish for?
Children aged 3 to 12. Stories change in tone and difficulty as your child grows. There are no ads, no feeds and no links out to the wider web.
How is my child's information handled?
We use your child's name and interests only to make their story. We don't sell or share their information, and you can delete it. Our privacy policy has the details.
Will my child recognise themselves in the story?
Yes. Their name, the characters you add (pets, siblings, favourite toys) and the choices they make appear in the words and the pictures.
Can I cancel a paid plan easily?
Yes. Cancel from your account at any time, with no long-term commitment. If you cancel during a trial, you won't be charged.
Ready for their first story?
Start with your child's name. Their story will be ready in a few minutes, and you can decide about a plan afterwards.
