See the Magic
Here's what your child's stories actually look like.
Stories That Look Like Your Child
Every illustration matches your child’s appearance — their hair, skin tone, glasses, and clothing style. No generic characters.
Beautiful Illustrated Picture Books
Each story comes with up to 5 beautiful illustrations and reads like a real picture book.
Listen Together with Audio
Professional narration with karaoke-style word highlighting. Perfect for early readers following along.
The same child on every single page
The most common complaint about AI story apps is the hero changing looks from one page to the next. Sleepybook pins your child’s appearance to their profile, and an automated art check reviews every illustration — pages that fail are redrawn before the story ever reaches you.
Real, unedited pages from one Sleepybook story — Roman, the founder’s son, age 5. Start to finish, one child.

“The first time Oliver saw himself as the brave knight, his face lit up. He asks for 'another Oliver story' every single night now. It's completely replaced the bedtime negotiation.”
Emma
mum of Oliver (5) · Cardiff
“We were sceptical about AI stories, but the illustrations are genuinely beautiful and the writing actually sounds like a proper story. Both kids are obsessed.”
James
dad of Amelia (4) & Noah (6) · Manchester
“Arun still can't read, but the audio narration with the highlighted words is teaching him to follow along. I wasn't expecting that — it's the best accidental feature.”
Priya
mum of Arun (3) · London
“I love that each twin gets their own story. They've started trading and 'reading' each other's adventures. Worth every penny of the Family plan.”
Sarah
mum of Evie & Rose (6) · Edinburgh
Why Parents Love Sleepybook
Story time should be the best part of the day — not the hardest.
The Star of Every Story
No more "one more story" negotiations. When the story stars them, they can't wait to settle in and listen — at bedtime, on holiday, any time.
Stories They'll Actually Remember
Your child's name, their best friend, the trip to the zoo today — woven into a story that feels like it was written just for them. Because it was.
Ready Before They Are
Choose a theme, tap create, and a unique illustrated story appears in a few minutes. Perfect for those nights when you're running on empty.
Never the Same Story Twice
Every story is completely original. Different plots, different adventures, different illustrations. Even the opening style varies each time.
Now they don’t just hear the story.
They read it to you.
Fully decodable phonics practice books matched to your child’s exact reading level — like the ones school sends home, starring your child. Every word checked against the sounds they’ve been taught.

A note from the founder
Hi, I'm Ryan. My son Roman is five, and I built Sleepybook because bedtime had quietly become the same three stories on rotation.
I wanted Roman to feel like the hero of his own adventures — not the audience for someone else's. I wanted illustrations that looked like his storybook, not a stock template. And I wanted a new story ready in minutes, because some nights you're running on empty.
Sleepybook is that app. Every story, every illustration, every narrator voice — built the way I'd want it for Roman.
Thanks for giving it a try.
— Ryan
Founder, Sleepybook
