Our Story
How bedtime stories for two little kids grew into a whole world of stories, reading, math and Hindi
It started at bedtime
I'm a parent of two — a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old — and like most parents, my favourite part of the day is bedtime stories.
I kept reaching for the old stories: Aesop's fables, tales from the Panchatantra, Anansi the spider, Norse and Greek myths. They've been told to children for thousands of years because they work — heroes who listen, feel, and think carefully. I watched those same skills quietly show up in my kids' real lives, and I started building those stories into something we could enjoy together: with artwork, a warm voice, and a moral at the end of each one.
Then my kids kept growing — so the site grew with them. One night my older one asked, "Papa, can I read it myself?" — and when my younger one was ready for letters too, I built Learn to Read with the phonics we practised at home. Math Adventures follows the very curriculum book we use at our kitchen table. And Speak Hindi exists so my kids can chat with family in the language of their grandparents.
Every feature on this site exists because my own two kids needed it. Nothing here is theoretical — it's all been giggled at, tested, and demanded "again!" by a 3- and a 5-year-old.
One site, four adventures
