Remember the excitement of checking the mailbox as a kid? Finding something addressed just to you felt like magic—something special that was yours alone.

In our digital world, that experience has become rare for children. Texts, emails, and notifications are constant, but physical mail? That's an event.

Children's Stories by Mail brings that magic back. When a child receives a story addressed just to them, it becomes something to anticipate, something to treasure.

Screen-Free Reading Time

Kids today spend hours on screens. Physical stories offer a different kind of engagement—no notifications, no distractions, just a story to hold and read.

Building Reading Habits

When a story arrives in the mail addressed to a child, reading becomes exciting. The anticipation of "when will my next story arrive?" builds positive associations with books and reading.

Keepsakes That Last

Unlike digital content that scrolls away, physical stories can be saved, displayed, and re-read. Many children create collections of their favorite delivered stories.

Special Delivery Excitement

There's something powerful about having your name on an envelope. Children feel important and recognized when they receive mail addressed specifically to them.

Each delivery includes:

• Illustrated story: Beautifully designed stories with engaging artwork
• Age-appropriate content: Stories crafted for young readers
• Personalized envelope: Addressed directly to your child by name
• Quality printing: Durable paper that withstands repeated reading

Stories are designed to spark imagination and encourage independent reading, with just the right balance of text and illustrations for developing readers.

Monthly Stories

One story per month, perfect for building anticipation. Children learn to look forward to that special delivery each month.

• Monthly billing: $9.99/month
• Yearly billing: $99/year (save ~17%)

Bi-Weekly Stories

Twice the magic with stories every two weeks. Great for avid readers who can't wait a whole month.

• Monthly billing: $14.99/month
• Yearly billing: $149/year (save ~17%)

All subscriptions include free delivery anywhere in Canada.
