The store

There is nothing for sale here. This is a plain note, for the grown-up reading it, about what might one day sit on the shelf.

Storybooks in print

The stories that are on this site now, printed properly: the kind of book that ends up held together with tape.

Toys

Something soft, with a hat on.

Clothes

Small shirts for small people.

Reading is free, and it stays free

Every story on this site is free to read today, and will still be free to read on the day any of the above exists. Nothing on this shelf will ever be needed to finish a story, and no story will ever point a child at this page.

Nothing here asks anything of you

No prices, no list to join, no box asking for an email address, and nothing that takes a payment. When there is something real, it will simply appear, in a grown-ups-only part of the site your child does not navigate into. Until then this page is a promise rather than a shop.
