Bedtime stories · English and Afrikaans
Tonight's bedtime story stars your child.
The best bedtime story is the one they ask for again. Make one in about ten minutes with your child as the hero, and read it together, or let it read itself aloud.

Short, and exactly right for them
Choose 4, 8, 12 pages: short enough for a tired evening. Tell Mr de Beer who the hero is and what happens (a first day at school, a new baby, a brave trip to the dentist) and he writes and paints a draft. You change anything that isn't quite them.
Read it, hear it, or hold it
Read it together on a phone or tablet, let it read itself aloud in one of 4 voices, or order a printed copy from R999, delivered in South Africa.
Tonight's bedtime story could be theirs.
Ten minutes to build. Your first book is on us. Yours to keep.
