Tonight’s story doesn’t exist yet.
Tell Story Walker what your child is wrestling with — sharing, a new baby brother, the dark — and get back a six-page illustrated story about exactly that, with the same characters from the first page to the last.
Start a storyWhere it came from
It’s a quarter past eight. Something happened at school today — a friend left out of a game, a toy that never got shared — and there are about four minutes left in which to say something about it that will still be there in the morning.
So you go to the shelf. Thirty books. One is about a tractor. None is about this.
Every parent has stood in front of that shelf. Story Walker was born there — not to replace the books your child already loves, but to make the one that isn’t on the shelf: the story about this week, this worry, this small thing you want to land gently, while they’re still listening.
How it works
- 1
Say what tonight is about
Tell the agent who your child is, and what the story should land: a feeling, a worry, a lesson that didn’t go down well over dinner.
- 2
The agent writes the plan
It asks for what it still needs, then turns the conversation into a brief — title, age, illustration style, six pages.
- 3
Read it together
Words and illustrations arrive together, the same characters from beginning to end, pitched at your child’s age.
Why Story Walker exists
The goal
Going from “I need a story about this” to reading it aloud should take about as long as brushing teeth. Six pages, illustrated, written for the age of the child in front of you. Not a novel, and not a lecture with a dragon in it.
The vision
Children remember stories long after they stop listening to advice. If the right story can be made on the evening it’s needed, every family ends up with a shelf of its own: the book about the new baby, the book about the first day of school, the book about saying goodbye.
What parents say
“She asked for the one about the loud classroom three nights running. It’s the first time a book has been about her week.”
Marta, mum of Nina, 5 “I’d been avoiding the conversation about his grandad for a month. We read it instead, and then we had the conversation.”
Tom, dad of Elia, 7 “Made one about sharing the tablet while the pasta was cooking. Six pages, his name in it, done before dinner.”
Priya, mum of Arun, 4
