The Fairy Who Lost Her Glitter

Made on Nightstory

Real stories, written and drawn the way yours will be. The child's name has been changed in each.

Fairy stories belong to the hour just before dark, when the garden looks different and a mushroom might be a house. A child who loves fairies wants the small details: the acorn cups, the spider-silk hammocks, the door at the bottom of the tree that only they can see.

Ours are written for your child by name, so they are the one the fairies trust. Tonight they might help a fairy find her lost wing-glitter, or be invited to the moth ball under the hedge. Tomorrow's story remembers the door.

Written by the people who make Nightstory.

What makes it work at bedtime

  • Keep everything tiny

    Ask for fairies the size of a thumb and the story fills up with details children adore: thimble baths, petal blankets, a lantern made from one firefly.

  • Let the garden be the map

    Your own garden, or the park, with a fairy village in it. A story set somewhere your child knows is one they will think about tomorrow.

  • Turn the lights out together

    Fairy stories end when the fireflies go out one by one. It is the gentlest countdown to sleep there is.

Questions parents ask

Will a fairy story keep my child awake?
Not the way we write them. Every story keeps to the same rules: no fear, no villains, no cliffhangers, and an ending where the child is safe and sleepy. The fairy part is the adventure; the last page is always the wind-down.
Can the fairies live in our garden?
Yes. Describe it in the request, the big tree, the shed, the gap in the fence, and the story puts the fairy village there. Tomorrow at dusk your child will go and check.
What does it cost?
The first page is free, with no account. A free account finishes that story and brings one more free story. After that, a story costs 20 stars, and Nightstory Plus brings 840 stars a month, enough for a story every night.
