The DreamBug library
A wall of books, not a wall of controls
Children choose from clear, inviting covers. The complicated decisions stay with the parent, while favourites quietly wait at the front of the shelf.

What Maya seesHer library
Stories where more children belong
Adventures for different lives and difficult days
These are still stories first: exciting, funny, tender and full of agency. A parent decides when either collection appears on a child's shelf.
Everyone Belongs
Disabled heroes having real adventures
Wheelchairs, walkers and other aids belong naturally in the world. The character's body is part of them, never the problem the story needs to fix.
Stories for Hard Days
When something difficult has happened
Moving home, grief, a new baby, being left out or a frightening change can be easier to approach through a story that understands without lecturing.
Extra care for sensitive stories. These books receive additional checks for framing, language, stereotypes and whether the child remains capable and respected.
A shelf that keeps growing
Three to six new stories planned every month
Enough novelty for children to keep exploring, without flooding the library with unfinished work. Every new book still has to meet the same release standard.

A story designed around your child
Choose a hero, a world and the idea sitting underneath the adventure. DreamBug will use the same quality pipeline to create a complete, reviewable book.
Personalisation follows the illustrated character chosen. This preview does not save or send the name.

Notes from our first families
The moments that told us DreamBug could matter
These are early family-testing notes, not App Store ratings. Verified store reviews will replace this section after launch.
“The first app my daughter asks for by name at bedtime. And the first one I don't feel weird about saying yes to.”
“My son has a stutter. He saw the parrot whose words take their time and said: he's like me. I nearly cried.”
“The stories are actually good. Not app-good. Book-good.”
A whole bookshelf, one membership
More than 100 books from the first bedtime
Instead of choosing a single new story, open an entire parent-controlled library, with new adventures arriving throughout the year.

Questions parents ask
Does my child need the internet?
No. Every book is stored inside the app when you install it, so the whole library works with the device in airplane mode.
Can my child tap through to anything else?
No. There is no advertising, no browser, and no link that leads out of the app. The purchase screen and all settings sit behind a parent PIN.
What do you collect about my child?
Nothing. Profiles, reading progress and favourites are stored on the device and never sent anywhere. There are no accounts for children. See the privacy policy.
Who writes and draws the books?
They are made in-house. We use AI tools as part of writing and illustrating, then at least two people review every line and every picture before a book reaches the app. Books that do not meet the bar are revised or kept out of the library.
Can I decide what my child sees?
Yes. Each child gets a profile, and in the parents area you choose which age ranges, collections and individual titles appear on their shelf.
