Read a story we sent last week

The best way to know what nightlystory feels like is to read one. This is the story we wrote for a little girl called Maya, age five, who lives with her cat Biscuit and is — by her mother’s account — “very into the stars right now.”

written for Maya, age 5

Maya and the Sleepy Star

Maya was already in her pyjamas when she heard the tap-tap-tapping on her window.

It was not the wind. The wind did not tap politely.

She tiptoed across the rug, past Biscuit (who was pretending very hard to be asleep), and pulled back the curtain.

There, hovering just outside the glass, was a small, glowing star. A very small one. Smaller than her hand.

Maya in her pyjamas at the bedroom window at night, a small glowing star hovering just outside the glass, her cat Biscuit curled on the bed behind her

“Hello,” said the star, in a voice like a yawn. “I’m terribly sorry to bother you. I’ve forgotten how to get home.”

Maya opened the window a crack. The star drifted in and settled, very softly, on her pillow.

Tomorrow night, Maya’s story might be about the cat next door, or a kite she lost on the beach, or a friend she made at nursery. The world keeps growing.

What parents are saying

We’re a small operation, run by one parent in Bolton. Every quote below is from a real subscriber.

I was sceptical about anything AI near my four-year-old. I read the first story before I let her hear it. By the third night, it was the thing she asked for before her teeth. We're not going back to cartoons at bedtime.
Sarah, mum to Florence (4), Bristol
My son is seven and 'too old' for everything. Somehow he isn't too old for this. They wrote him into a story as a deep-sea diver and he asked me to print it out so he could keep it.
James, dad to Rory (7), Edinburgh
I love that the same little world keeps coming back. His teddy 'Bramble' is now a proper character. He talks about her as if she's a real friend.
Priya, mum to Arjun (5), Manchester
The honesty about the AI was what sold me. They didn't try to hide it. I felt respected as a parent.
Hannah, mum to twins Iris and Otto (3), Cardiff
Worth every penny just for the wind-down. We genuinely sleep better.
Tom, dad to Lyra (6), Glasgow
