Bedtime stories in French
Natural French voices make the story sound like a bedtime read, not a lesson, for families in France, Canada, Africa or far from all three.
Good night in French
Bonne nuit
How it works
1Add your characters
Describe your child, a grandparent or the family pet in a few words.
2Get an original story
A calm, multi-chapter adventure written only for your family, in English first.
3Switch to French
Pick French on the story page. Every chapter is translated and read aloud, and you can flip back to English any time.
Bilingual bedtime, the easy way
Many families read the first chapter in English and the rest in French, or replay a favourite in French once the story is familiar. Names and the plot stay the same in both languages, so children follow along even while the new words are still settling in.
