How Hug a Story works

From an idea to an illustrated, narrated story in about two minutes — and a calm place to read it.

How it works

Share an idea
A hero, a place, a lesson. Tap suggestions if you are short on ideas.
Read the draft
See the beginning first and ask for another version if it is not quite right.
Read or listen
Illustrations, gentle narration with a sleep timer and a PDF to print.

Children fall asleep most easily to a voice they know. So the story can be read by mum, dad or grandma, even when they are far away.

In every plan
“Record your reading”
You or the grandparents record a story paragraph by paragraph, also through an invite link. The child listens while the text lights up with the reading.
Premium
Parent AI voice
You record one consent sentence with a one-time code, and new stories are read in a voice like yours, labelled as an AI voice. You can delete it with one button.

Written for their age
Vocabulary, length and tone follow the age you choose — from toddlers to twelve-year-olds.
A night mode for reading
A dark, warm page that is easy on sleepy eyes, with adjustable text size.
Narration with a sleep timer
Let the story read itself and fade out gently after 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
Illustrations in every story
Pictures placed through the text, not hidden in a gallery at the end.
Print it as a book
Download a PDF with Polish characters and pictures, ready to print.
Your family library
Every story you create and every favourite in one place.

Gentle by design
Stories avoid violence and frightening scenes, and you can read the draft first.
Your child's data stays private
Personal stories are visible only to you and never listed publicly.
No lock-in
Cancel in two clicks. Your stories and PDFs stay yours.
