Bedtime stories a small child can see, hear and follow.

Story Forest is a library of short picture-book stories made for little kids. Every story has eight illustrations and a warm narrator, and the words follow along as they are read.

One story, eight pictures

A child who can’t read yet can still follow the whole story.

Each story is told in eight scenes. The picture changes as the story moves on, so the listener always knows where they are. These are the eight scenes of Blackcap the Puppy’s Forgotten Promise.

  1. Scene 1
  2. Scene 2
  3. Scene 3
  4. Scene 4
  5. Scene 5
  6. Scene 6
  7. Scene 7
  8. Scene 8

  • Every story is read aloud

    Each story has its own narration in a calm, friendly voice. Blackcap’s story is read by Ellie and lasts a little over two minutes, short enough for one bedtime.

  • The words follow the voice

    The text on screen keeps pace with the narrator, so a parent can read along and an early reader can point at the words.

  • Paced for small ears

    Early listeners told us the first recordings were too fast for little ears, so every published story is now read at a slower pace.

Start with a favorite animal

Small children choose by animal, so the library is sorted that way.

A child taps the dog, the panda, the fox or the turtle and gets that animal’s stories. If they can’t decide, there is a Surprise story button.

  • Star the Unicorn’s Apology
  • Spike the Hedgehog’s Morning
  • Darkeye the Panda’s Glacier Friends
  • Sly the Fox Cub’s Leaf Whistle
  • Lanky the Giraffe’s Lost Book
  • Shield the Turtle and the Shared Pepper
How a story gets made

Written with Claude, checked at every step, approved by people.

We are a small team, so the production line is built to catch problems before a story reaches a child. A story that fails a step does not move on.

  1. Written

    Each story is drafted with Claude around one small everyday moment: sharing, waiting your turn, saying sorry, trying something new.

  2. Checked

    Automatic checks reject drafts with violence, fear, sad or dark themes, brand names, or a problem fixed by magic. The characters solve it themselves.

  3. Illustrated

    Eight scenes are generated for every story. A person looks at each frame, and any frame with a mistake is redrawn.

  4. Narrated

    An AI voice reads the full story. Each recording is checked for skipped or mispronounced words before release.

  5. Translated

    Chosen stories are translated with the same characters, places and pictures, so every language tells the same story.

Languages

Every story starts in Turkish and travels from there.

Every story is available in Turkish, and English, Spanish, Italian and German editions are growing. The pictures are shared across languages; only the words and the voice change.
