A brand new story,
every single time.

Your child picks the buddy, the place and what happens next. We write it, you read it together. For ages 3 to 8.

A note from the founder

“I built Storytime Buddies because the best moments with my own kids happened in the warm, slow minutes before sleep: the made-up stories, the giggles, the questions. I wanted families everywhere to have a little extra magic for those moments. Thomas and the buddies are here to help you tell stories your kids will remember forever.”

Charles, founder and dad
