PillowTales: Bedtime&Folktales

Make bedtime a world of stories with PillowTales.

PillowTales is a bedtime storytelling app for children aged 1–12, combining personalised bedtime adventures with traditional folktales from around the world.

Create a story especially for your child, explore legendary tales through Story Worlds, read together, or simply let them close their eyes and listen.

🌙 Personalised bedtime stories

Make your child part of their own magical adventure. Choose their name, age and story preferences, and PillowTales creates an age-appropriate bedtime story designed around them.

Stories are created to encourage imagination, warmth and positive values while remaining suitable for bedtime.

🌍 Story Worlds — folktales from around the world

Bedtime stories don't have to come from just one place.

Discover traditional stories and folklore from Ireland, Japan, Egypt and Ghana, with more Story Worlds being added over time.

Meet legendary heroes, magical creatures and stories that generations of families have shared from Irish legends and Japanese folklore to tales from Africa and ancient Egypt.

Story Worlds gives children a gentle way to discover how cultures around the world tell their stories.

🗣️ Read and listen in 7 languages

PillowTales supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Arabic.

Reading and narration languages can be selected independently, so your child can read a story in one language while listening to it in another.

This makes PillowTales especially useful for multilingual and bilingual families, or simply for children discovering another language through stories.

❤️ Parent Voice — your voice, their story

We'd love every parent to be there to read every bedtime story. But sometimes life gets in the way.

Parent Voice lets your child hear a PillowTales story narrated in the familiar voice of their parent, helping keep that connection even when you can't be there to read it yourself.

🎧 Designed for listening at bedtime

PillowTales isn't about keeping children staring at a screen.

Choose a story, put their head on the pillow, close their eyes and let them listen.

Gentle narration and bedtime-focused storytelling turn the final moments of the day into something calm, imaginative and comforting.
