Made just for your child

So much more than a name swapped in

You tell us a few things about your child once. Every story after that is written around them: their family, their pet, their age. They'll hear their own world inside God's story.

Example ยท Night 1, In the Beginning

Ages 4โ€“6 version

Hello, Gabriel. Are you cozy? Let's pull the blanket up nice and snug.

On the sixth day, God made the animals: lions and lambs, and puppies with waggly tails. Every animal, even Biscuit, came from God's good plan.

God made Lily, too. And when God made Gabriel, He looked at him and said, โ€œVery good.โ€

Now close your eyes. Mommy is right here to say goodnight.

Written for Gabriel, whose dog is Biscuit, whose big sister is Lily, and whose mommy tucks him in. Your child's story uses your child's details.

  • Their name

    Spoken gently all through the story, so they know God's story is for them too.

  • Boy or girl

    Every "he" or "she" fits your child, so the story reads naturally aloud.

  • Their pet

    The family dog, cat, or goldfish shows up along the way.

  • Brother or sister

    Siblings join in, so nobody feels left out.

  • Who tucks them in

    Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, or Grandpa, named in the story and the goodnight.

  • Their age

    Separate versions for ages 1โ€“3, 4โ€“6, and 7โ€“9: simple and playful, or fuller and deeper.

  • ๐ŸŒ™ Their bedtime, too

    Stories arrive at 6:30 pm in your time zone, or pick any time up to 9 pm for each child. Brothers and sisters each get their own story, written for their own age.

Why I made this

Bedtime with our son Gabriel is one of my favorite parts of the day: a Bible story, a prayer, and a sleepy goodnight. I wanted stories that were true to the Bible, calm enough for sleepy eyes, and made just for him. So I started writing them.

Now I'd love to share them with your family. I'm praying for every family who reads with us.

Matt, founder of Sleepy Angel Stories

โ€œIn peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.โ€
Psalm 4:8 (NIV)

Questions parents ask

How does it work?

After you sign up, a new bedtime story arrives by email every evening. Open it on your phone or tablet, snuggle up, and read it aloud. Each story takes about ten minutes.

Do I need to download an app?

No app needed, and no new password to remember. Every story comes straight to your email, already written with your child's name in it. Just open it at bedtime.

Is each story really written for my child?

Yes. Your child's name, the person who tucks them in, and (if you'd like) their pet's and a brother's or sister's name are woven into every story, and each age group gets its own version. It's a real Bible story, told to your child by name.

Can we try a story before signing up?

Yes! Tap "Try one free story tonight" and tell us your email, your child's first name, their age group, and who tucks them in. One personalized story arrives in your inbox right away, ready for bedtime, with no card and no account. After that we send a few short notes over two weeks, then one a week with a memory verse to share, about starting your 7 free nights. They stop as soon as you sign up, and you can unsubscribe anytime with one tap.

What time do the stories arrive?

At 6:30 pm in your time zone, so it's ready when bedtime starts. You can pick a different time for each child from your account page, and stories stay in your inbox, so you can read one whenever you like.

What ages is it for?

Children from about 1 to 9 years old. Stories are written separately for ages 1โ€“3 (short, playful, with lots of repetition), ages 4โ€“6, and ages 7โ€“9 (a fuller retelling with more to think about).

Are the stories really from the Bible?

Yes. Each night retells a real Bible story in simple, gentle words for young children, then connects it to your child's own life. Memory verses are from the New International Version (NIV).

What do you ask about my child?

Only a first name, an age group, whether your child is a boy or a girl, a favorite interest, and who tucks them in. A pet's name and a sibling's name are optional. We never ask for last names, photos, birthdays, or addresses, and children never enter anything themselves.

What if we miss a night?

No problem. Each story waits in your inbox, and the next evening's story picks up right where you left off.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Every email has a "Manage my subscription" link where you can cancel in a couple of clicks. If you cancel during your 7 free nights, you won't be charged.

Can I give Sleepy Angel Stories as a gift?

Yes! Choose 3 months or a whole year, add a personal note, and pick when we should send it (like Christmas morning). The gift is paid once and never renews. The parent sets it up in about a minute, with no card needed.

I have more than one child. Can they each get stories?

Yes! Sign up with your first child, then add brothers and sisters from your account page. Each child gets their own story every evening, written for their age.

Make tonight's bedtime special

Try it free for 7 nights and see how your child lights up hearing their own name in God's story.
