No. The story handles fear the right way: name it, face it, make it feel small. Parents tell us their kids ask for it over and over.

Magic Story+ sends a new personalized hardcover starring your child each month. Create the child's illustrated character once, choose the next story or keep the curated selection, get member pricing, and read subscription books in the Magic Story app. There is no long-term contract, and you can pause or cancel anytime.

Magic Story goes beyond changing a name. One photo becomes an illustrated character with your child's recognizable face and outfit. Then the child gets the important role in a cinematic, Pixar-quality adventure: facing the fear, solving the problem, helping a friend, telling the truth, or trying again. That is why 150,000+ families have chosen Magic Story.

Magic Story books are designed for children ages 2 to 10. Younger children can enjoy them as read-alouds, while older children can follow the problem, choices, and details in each adventure.

Most Magic Story books contain 21 to 28 full-color illustrated story pages, plus front and back covers. Check the product details for the exact format of the story you choose.

Yes, in books built for companions. Look for titles that include a parent, grandparent, another child, or the family pet. The personalization flow for each book shows which characters that story supports.

    The nighttime forest looks frightening until your child explores it with Spark, a small fire friend who knows where to look. Together they notice the sounds, shapes, and creatures that imagination can turn into something much scarier than it really is.

    This personalized book does not tell a worried child to stop being afraid. It lets them investigate the dark with company, curiosity, and a light of their own, giving families language to use when bedtime shadows start growing.
