A sample month. How many new stories a month includes is set at launch.

What one month holds

About one new story every few nights, and as many rereads as bedtime asks for.

  • A set number of new stories

    Each one written and illustrated for your child, with the things they love and none of the things they’d rather avoid.

  • Rereads are free

    Any story, any night, in any of the three ways in: I’ll read it, Read to me, or Learn.

  • A library kept for good

    Every story you make is saved to your family library, ready whenever your child wants it again.

  • A fresh start each month

    Unused stories don’t roll over. A new month brings new stories to make.

  • A page looks wrong? Flag it.

    If a story comes out with pages that look wrong, flag it, and it doesn’t count against your month.

How it begins

One free story first. Then the moon keeps turning.

You see your child become the hero before you pay for a membership.

  1. 1

    A quick card check

    Before you set up your child, a small charge on your card, refunded right away. It’s how Bellemade knows a grown-up said yes, and we email you to say it happened and why.

  2. 2

    Your first story is free

    One per family, and the story itself is never charged. Set up your child, press Make, and read it together tonight.

  3. 3

    Your second Make

    When you’re ready for another, Bellemade asks you to join, so the stories keep coming.

  4. Every month after

    New stories on the shelf, and every story you’ve made still there to reread.

Pause or cancel, any time

The shelf stays lit.

A paused or canceled family keeps reading their whole library. Only making new stories rests until you come back.

Show the library as a member, paused or canceled

Your family library

Every story here is yours to reread, and new ones are ready to make.

Pause, resume, cancel or update your card yourself, right on the site.

Opening at launch

A new month of stories, every month.

The membership opens when Bellemade launches. Until then, the launch list is where to start, and your child’s first story is free.

What happens to stories I don’t make this month?

They don’t roll over. Each new month starts fresh, and every story you’ve already made stays in your library.

Does reading a story again use one up?

Never. Rereading is free, as often as your child likes, in any of the three ways in. For a child learning to read, the same story again is the point.

Why is there a card check before the free story?

It’s how Bellemade checks that a grown-up is saying yes before any child’s photo or story. The small charge is refunded right away, and the free story itself is never charged.

What if I pause or cancel?

Your family keeps reading the whole library. You just can’t make new stories until you resume or join again. You pause, resume and cancel yourself, from your account.

Can I update my card?

Yes, from your account on the site. If a card is ever declined, we’ll email you so your stories don’t stop by surprise.

What if a story’s pages come out wrong?

Flag the story. A flagged story doesn’t count against your month.

How much is it?

The price is set before launch, and it shows here as soon as it is: $19.99.

Night one

Tonight, Rowan could be the hero.

When Bellemade opens, your child’s first story is free.
