The Super-Tidy Hero and the Cake That Wouldn't Fit

Made on Nightstory

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

Superhero stories at bedtime need one change: no villain. The town still needs saving, but from a runaway kite, a cat stuck on the library roof, a birthday cake that will not fit through the door. Your child is the hero with the exact power the job needs, and everyone is asleep by the end.

Ours are written for your child by name, with a superpower of their choosing. Tonight they might be the one who can talk to pigeons, or who can make things gently float. Tomorrow's story remembers the cape.

Written by the people who make Nightstory.

What makes it work at bedtime

  • Pick a gentle power

    Super-listening, super-tidying, the power to warm things up. Ask for a small power and the story finds a big, kind use for it.

  • Save something, not someone from something

    Rescues without danger: a balloon, a lost dog, a picnic about to get rained on. The stakes feel real to a child and nobody gets scared.

  • Hang up the cape

    Our superhero stories always end with the cape on the hook, the town quiet, and the hero asleep. Even heroes need their rest.

Questions parents ask

Will a superhero 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 superhero part is the adventure; the last page is always the wind-down.
Can my child choose their own superpower?
Yes, and they should. Ask them before you begin and put it in the request. The story builds the whole rescue around the power they picked, which is a far better feeling than being handed one.
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.
