Our principles

These rules decide how we make books, and they are the same rules every book from a parent has to meet.

How a book teaches

  1. Two new words per book, at most. The rest of the story is at least 95% words a child already knows, common words, or words the picture makes obvious. A child can read the whole book and still learn something.
  2. Each new word comes back three to five times, always paired with something the child can see happen: the moon begins to glow, then a star, then Pip.
  3. Meaning comes last. The order is context, animation, repetition, play, and only then a short explanation, and only if the child asks.
  4. No quizzes. Checking is part of the story. A wrong tap gets a gentle “not here”, never “wrong”.
  5. Made for reading together. Every spread has a question a parent can ask. The screen is something you share, not somewhere you leave your child.

What we leave out

  • No ads, and nothing is ever sold to a child.
  • No leaderboards, streaks that punish a missed day, endless feeds, or next-book autoplay.
  • Every book has a real ending. When it is over, it is over, gently.
  • Payments, settings and uploads live in the parent area. The child side has only books.

What we won’t publish

  • Characters copied from existing brands, films or books, or anything pretending to be a real person.
  • Fear, violence, stereotypes about groups of people, or product placement.
  • A book that no person has read. We use AI to help with writing, pictures and voices. A person reviews every book before it reaches the shelf.

Children’s data

We collect as little as we can. Reading progress stays on your device. We never ask for a child’s photo, voice recording or real name. See our privacy policy.

Our quality bar

Every spread should be good enough to use as a cover. The voice should sound warm, not robotic. And after one book, a child should really understand its one or two new words.
