Their name. Their fear.
You tell us what they're scared of at night — the dark, monsters, thunder, being alone — and we weave it into the story so they see themselves face it bravely.

A peek inside
Three pages from the bedtime book.
The name shown is a placeholder. Your child's name appears in the real book.
page 3
When the lights went out, and the house grew very still, Sofia would think about the closet — and feel a little chill.
page 9
"Close your eyes with me, Sofia. Take a breath in, slow and deep. Picture Bun-Bun by your side, guarding while you sleep."
page 16
Goodnight, brave Sofia. Goodnight, Bun-Bun too.
Goodnight to every shadow — the light still loves you.
Bedtime, but better
From the parents we've helped tuck in.
"She asked me to read it three times. She fell asleep on page 12. I cried in the hallway."
— Megan, mom of a 4-year-old
"I sent it to my granddaughter for her birthday. Her mom called me sobbing in the best way."
— Linda, grandmother of two
"Best $30 we've spent on bedtime in three years. The breathing line actually works on him."
— Daniel, dad of a 5-year-old

Questions parents ask
FAQ
How long until my book arrives?
Personalized PDFs are delivered within 24 hours of your order — usually much faster. Add the audio narration option and you'll get a warm read-aloud MP3 in the same delivery.
What ages is this book for?
The bedtime book is written for kids roughly ages 2 to 7. The story works whether your child is just starting to talk about feelings or already a confident pre-reader.
Can I add my own photos or art?
Not yet. Each book uses our consistent watercolor illustration style so the story feels like a real children's book. We may add photo options in the future.
Is this a real fix for bedtime fears?
It's a tool, not a cure. The story uses a name-it-and-breathe technique pediatric therapists recommend. Most parents tell us bedtime gets noticeably easier within a week of nightly reads. Persistent or severe anxiety is always worth talking to your pediatrician about.
Can I return it if we don't love it?
Personalized digital products generally aren't returnable, but we want you to genuinely love your book. If something feels off, message us through Etsy and we'll make it right.
Is this a good gift?
It's one of the best gifts you can give a kid under 8. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, baby showers, big-sibling moments — it lands every time. You'll just need the child's name, age, and the personalization details from the parent.
Will you make books for other moments?
Yes. We're working on books for new siblings, potty training, big feelings, and the first day of school. Drop your email below and you'll be the first to know when each one is ready.
