Built by a Parent, for Parents
One family in Auckland, a very opinionated three-year-old, and stories that actually know your child.
Why We Built Gently Told
Any parent can invent a story that truly fits their child. Doing it every night is another matter.
We think the best stories are the ones that know your child — their name, their age, whatever this week has thrown at them.
Gently Told helps you make those stories, and nothing reaches your child without you.
Made for Your Child
Their name, their age, their world — in every story
