What Happens When the Story Isn’t About Them?

We’ve all had nights when storytime misses the mark.

They Tune It Out

Generic characters make the lesson feel distant and forgettable.

You Miss the Moment

A valuable opportunity to shape their character passes without making an impact.

The World Steps In

When family values aren’t actively reinforced, outside influences fill the gap.

A Better Way to Pass On Values

My Tiny Story gives you a simple, engaging way to bring your family values to life.

Make Your Child the Hero

When children see themselves making the right choice, the lesson feels personal—and starts shaping how they see themselves.

Choose Your Values

Choose the value your child needs most right now. Each story turns it into a clear choice they can understand, remember, and use.

Start a Conversation

We include simple, science-backed questions to help your child connect the story to real life, so the lesson continues long after the book closes.

Built by Dads. Backed by Science.

We’re dads too. We know these years go fast — and when they’re gone, so is your best window to build the values that last. That’s why we built My Tiny Story: personalized, science-backed stories that make your child the hero — because kids grow into the person they see themselves being.

“We’ve read ‘Waiting for Watermelons’ every night this week. Hearing my son say ‘I can wait, like in my book’ stopped me in my tracks.”
— Sarah M., mom of a 5-year-old

Three Simple Steps to Make the Lesson Stick

Choose a value, personalize the hero, then use the story and built-in questions to connect the lesson to real life.

Step 01

Choose a Value and Personalize the Hero

Start with what your child needs right now. Choose a family value, then customize the story’s hero around your child.

Step 02

Receive and Read Their Story

We turn your choices into a printed storybook and deliver it to your door. Read it together and let your child see themselves work through the challenge.

Step 03

Connect It to Real Life

Use the questions at the end to talk about the choices in the story. Bring the lesson back whenever a similar moment comes up.
