详细父母都知道对于孩子来说故事时间有多么的重要。他是一种仪式，一个沟通的机会，一个学习的过程。但这每天末尾上床睡

StorySomething

觉前的几分钟总是太急迫。平均来说，一个有工作的妈妈每天有两个小时陪着自己的孩子，但是只会有4.5分钟师花在阅读上的。有工作的爸爸就更加少了，平均每天不过2.5分钟会去给他们的孩子讲故事。

让父母们能够充分利用那段时间，扩展那段时间的影响，就是StorySomething的工作。SS为孩子生成个性化的故事，把孩子放到故事中去。父母可以选择一个主题来适合孩子的兴趣，故事按年龄阶段也会有不同。主人公会是孩子的名字，故事可以在线阅读，也可以Email到父母处，让你的iPhone成为床头灯的忠实伙伴。

父母们可以以创建一个虚拟的书架，书架包括不同的主题。他们可以每天按照设定定时地收到日程上的故事。当你和你烦躁的孩子等在候诊室外的时候，他们就可以派上用场。孩子长大一些后，他们将可以设定故事发展路线，让他们自己决定故事的未来。

这些故事来自两个来源。SS官方会请来专业的作者来为特定的主题创作，也有的故事来自广大的父母口诉。每个人至少都有一个为孩子准备的精彩故事，至少每个人都自认为这样。SS期望能够以此发掘父母的创造力，无论是文本，图片还是其他媒介，甚至一个标题。

故事本身都是免费的，但当父母被这个东西黏上后，每个月将付出3元的订阅费以激励作者继续创作优秀的故事。
