Bedtime stories that grow with your child.
PillowTales helps parents create personalised, age-appropriate stories for children aged 3–12. Read the story yourself, choose a calming built-in narrator, or use Parent Voice when you cannot be there. Choose any theme, moral or real-life situation — or use Custom to describe exactly what your child needs help understanding.
PillowTales
Tonight’s story is made for your child.
Choose your child’s age, theme and moral. Read it yourself, use a built-in narrator, or let Parent Voice help when you cannot be there.
Ages 3–12
Custom themes and morals
Parent-led bedtime
PillowTales is for parents
Less screen. More listening, reading and imagination.
For younger children, the aim is simple: head on the pillow and listen while the parent controls the app. Older children can read along, build confidence or read in one language while listening in another.
One app. Different bedtimes for different ages.
Every story is created for your child’s exact age. A three-year-old does not receive the same vocabulary, structure, humour or challenge as a seven-year-old — and a twelve-year-old is not given a story written for a nine-year-old.
📖
Ages 6–8
More dialogue, humour, richer adventures and stories that can support reading confidence and everyday life lessons.
🚀
Ages 9–12
Age-appropriate vocabulary, deeper plots, bigger challenges and stories that respect older children’s growing interests.
🌍
Read and listen bilingually
Older children can read in English while listening in Spanish, or choose another combination across English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
Parents stay in control.
PillowTales is not designed to place another app in a young child’s hands before sleep. The parent creates the story and chooses how it is enjoyed.

Gentle examples, not lectures
Stories can help children explore difficult ideas in a safe and understandable way. PillowTales can weave a parent’s chosen lesson into an age-appropriate adventure without turning bedtime into a lesson or diagnosis.
