STORY REEF · PERSONALIZED TALES
Choose the age, theme and style — Story Reef creates a personalised PDF storybook with 10 spreads and 10 different illustrations. Read it on screen, print it or keep it as a family memory.
SHALLOWS · FOR MODERN PARENTS
After a long day, when everything's done — work, cooking, homework, bath — you just want to hug your child and read something warm.
But coming up with a unique story, with the right meaning, with illustrations… That takes time and energy you simply don't have. What if, at dinner, together with your child, you chose what kind of tale they'd like to hear — picked characters, setting, theme — and sent the order? Then by bedtime, the story would already be waiting in your inbox.
STORY DEPTH · FROM SHALLOWS TO DEEP WATERS
In Story Reef every book has 10 spreads, but age changes the depth of the story: text length, the rhythm of phrases, the complexity of choice and the density of the page.
All ages are open to a good tale. But a 3-year-old and a 13-year-old need different books. So Story Reef changes the text length, rhythm, plot complexity and page density — while the form stays the same: 10 spreads and a warm ending.
A gentle rhythmic story for early shared reading: simple emotions, repetition and calm pacing.

STORY GROTTO · WHERE WE COME FROM
It all began with an ordinary walk. A little girl took too many toys with her — "let them all come along". And in this happy abundance she didn't notice that the most important one had been lost — her seahorse, Bubble.
Her parents didn't scold. Instead, they made up a tale: Bubble hadn't disappeared — he had set off on a journey. He rolled along the path, found a brook, and sailed down the river all the way to the Aquarium. And now he was waiting for her there, for the weekend.
In the tale, Bubble became a guide of order: he taught the underwater creatures to put their "sea treasures" in their places and to check before going out — was everything in place?
That weekend Bubble was found at the Aquarium — a family moment that later inspired Story Reef.
Toys in her hands, in her pockets, in her little backpack. The mood was wonderful. And it's exactly in such abundance that the most important thing is easily lost.
The parents turned worry into a journey: Bubble wasn't lost — he had simply sailed off to the Aquarium and was waiting to meet again.
That weekend Bubble was found at the Aquarium — a family moment that later inspired Story Reef.
"Bubble's Tales" — because every story can become a bridge between what happened and what's important to understand.
ONE PRODUCT · ONE PRICE
After you approve the characters and pay, Bubble creates your book. The finished PDF appears in your account and arrives by email in up to 10 minutes after payment.
CALM HARBOUR · CHILD'S DATA
You don't need to upload a photo of your child for the tale. It's enough to describe the hero in words — hair and eye colour, favourite clothes, distinctive traits and mood.
The calmest option. You describe the hero in words, and Bubble creates a storybook character from your description.
If you'd like a closer likeness, you can upload a photo. It's used only as a visual reference for creating the character.
After the tale is created the photo is deleted and not reused. You can request data deletion at any time.
A child's photo is not used in advertising, examples, social media or a portfolio without separate explicit permission.
