Children's Stories with Values

Free stories that help kids grow: habits, emotions, fears and everyday values

Children's stories with values do quiet, important work: they help kids rehearse life before it happens - the first day of school, the night light going off, the toy that must be shared, the pacifier that stays behind. Every story here is free to read online, with illustrations, and can also become a personalized book starring your child.

Browse by what your family is working on: habits and independence, overcoming fears, emotions, sharing or the first day of school.

Curious why these stories work so well? Read our guide on why personalized stories work better than generic ones, backed by child psychology.
