Long-distance bedtime story

Parents and grandparents look for a long-distance bedtime story, a FaceTime bedtime story, or a video call story when a grandparent or travel parent is miles away. Goodnight Little Hero writes a short personalized story. You share or email it, and that adult reads it aloud on the call.

Miles away, the same story, read on the call.

Goodnight Little Hero does not place the FaceTime or video call, and it does not join the call for you. You share or email tonight's personalized story. A grandparent, or a parent who is traveling, reads that same text out loud while the child listens. The story uses the child's name, age, and interests. You review it before the call.

This page is not a kid app. There is no login for your child, and nothing here asks you to hand them a device so they can listen alone. Stories are written for ages about 3 to 12. If a line does not fit your child, you change it or skip it before anyone starts reading. A related page covers a parent reading at home: bedtime story in your voice.

How Goodnight Little Hero works

This is a parent tool. There is no kid app and no login for your child.

1. You share their first name, age, and interests. Stories are written for ages about 3 to 12.
2. A new story is created with your child as the hero.
3. You review it before anyone hears it.
4. You share or email tonight's story, and the distant adult reads it aloud on the call.
