What’s inside every story
One page per story, with four ways to share it with your child.

The whole story, ready to read aloud
Written for the ear, about 8 minutes long, with a 60-second version at the top for little ones and tired nights.
- 2
A picture storybook with narration
Full screen, one page at a time. A warm narrator reads along and each sentence lights up as it is read. Bedtime mode slows everything down.

A guide for grown-ups
Questions to ask for ages 3 to 12, honest answers to the hard questions children ask, and a note on exactly what we added and what we left out.
Try it: open the storybook for The Ten CommandmentsTap “Read to me” inside the storybook to hear it narrated, or “I will read it” to read it yourself.
How we tell these stories
- Every story is told as true, and starts by saying where it is in the Bible.
- Words in quotation marks are always the King James Bible, word for word.
- Nothing happens in our stories that the Bible doesn't say: no invented innkeepers, no talking animals. Each story lists the explanations we added and the parts we left out.
- No moral tacked on at the end. The story stops, and the questions for grown-ups come after.
- Hard parts are told in one plain sentence, with calm pictures.
