The Whispering Woods

The ritual

This isn't a story app.
It's a bedtime ritual.

You're not picking a story tonight. You're making one. Together. Your child is the hero. Their best friend, the sidekick. The family dog, along for the ride. By lights out, it's a book only your family has.

What families say

My five-year-old asks for tonight's chapter the way she used to ask for ice cream.

Sarah K.

mother of two

Watching her see herself as the hero of the story changed how she sees herself in real life.

Priya R.

mom of a 7-year-old

I never thought my son would sit still long enough for a book. Now he reads to his sister.

Mike D.

dad of two

Grandma starts every video call with “did you read the new one yet?”

Daniel L.

grandparent of four

His name in print. His face in the illustrations. He's hooked. So am I.

Maria S.

mother of a 4-year-old

Twelve books in. Each one feels like a memory we're keeping.

Carol & James

parents of three

The narration is what got us. She closes her eyes and listens like it's a movie.

Jenna T.

mom of a 6-year-old

Questions? Answers.

A Spark is the unit that powers everything: writing, illustrating, narrating. A typical book uses around 50 sparks. Every plan comes with 30 free sparks every month, even the free one.

They're yours. Forever. You'll still get free sparks every month to keep creating, and the only way to lose your library is to delete your account.

Yes. The 30 free sparks every month belong to every account, paid or not, forever. Cancelling just drops you back to the Prentice tier.

No subscription needed. Every account starts as a free Prentice with 30 sparks every month. We do ask for a card on file in case you want to grab more sparks down the road, but you won't be charged unless you decide to.

They teach the Illustrator what your kid looks like. Storyfaire never shares your images or creations with anyone unless you share them yourself, and we never use them to train models of any kind.

Never. Sparks roll over month to month. Save them up for a big project, or sprint through five stories in a weekend.

One click in Settings. No phone calls, no retention emails. Your books stay yours either way.

With any subscription plan you can export high-resolution books for printing. Where you print is up to you.

Absolutely. They're your characters, so do whatever you want with them: high-quality T-shirts, mugs, posters, and the like.

One last thing.

Tonight could be the one they remember.

Create your first free story: a complete illustrated, narrated adventure starring your child. Yours to keep.
