Personalized bedtime stories

Personalized bedtime stories starring your child.

Little Lantern creates an illustrated bedtime storybook around your child's profile and chosen story character. Choose text, narration, or a short animated recap, then open the secure bedtime email link on any device.

How it works

Start by creating one child profile.

Add the child details once, choose the story format, and Little Lantern uses that profile to prepare each bedtime story.

FAQ

Personalized bedtime story questions.

Before lights out
Clear answers for parents before the first story night.
What is a personalized bedtime story?

It is a children's story written around your child's profile, including their name, age, favorite things, language, story world, friends, and bedtime routine.

What ages are the stories written for?

Little Lantern supports ages 1-12, with story length and pacing adjusted for 1-3, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 age bands.

Can I choose the story language and world?

Yes. Stories can be written in English or Russian. The story world helps the names, settings, food, holidays, humor, and bedtime rhythm feel familiar.

What happens if I mention a famous character or game?

You can share what your child loves, but Little Lantern may turn protected characters, games, or movies into an original inspired idea. For example, a famous block-building game can become an original cozy building adventure.

Can I choose the story character?

Yes. During signup you choose a human avatar, animal, or magical creature for the main character. No child photo is needed for the trial or paid storybooks.

Can I add more than one child?

Yes. You can save unlimited child profiles. Each child receiving paid bedtime stories needs their own active monthly plan or one-time purchase.

What is included in the audiobook and animation plans?

The Audio plan includes the storybook plus narration for each page, with a play button beside the page text. The Animation plan includes the storybook, page narration, and a short animated bedtime highlight.
