About the Author

When Mark Cunich’s first child was born, he became a stay-at-home dad with aspirations of telling imaginative bedtime stories. However, he quickly realized that his newfound levels of exhaustion were restricting his creativity, making it difficult to find the inspiration at the end of the day. So, he began writing Story Sparks to make bedtime storytelling easy and fun.

As a child, Mark himself struggled with reading, and bedtime stories became a battle for Mark and his parents. It is his hope now that Story Sparks will help children fall in love with stories and take away some of the pressures that children can face around that storytelling time, due to varying reading abilities. This time before bed is a such a precious moment between a caregiver and a child. Story Sparks takes it to a new level, making it collaborative and allowing both adult and child to share in each other’s creativity.

Before becoming an author, Mark worked as an accountant, a profession he found to be lacking creativity. Initially, the idea of using his imagination to create bedtime stories felt daunting. However, as he created Story Sparks, the process became effortless, and helped Mark rediscover the creativity within him. It also helped him to uncover just how creative his own child could be!

Today, bedtime stories are a treasured part of his family's routine.

Game Changer

Our 3 year old is obsessed. It has really ignited her love of books and she is constantly asking to create stories, even when it’s not bed time. Biggest benefit is that it has completely replaced screen time 🙏

I was running out of story ideas other than Once upon a time. This book sparks the imagination for great stories. Perfect for toddlers and pre schoolers.

Redefining Bed Time Stories 🤩

When I read “interactive flip book” - I was pleasantly surprised when my book arrived to be nothing like what I had imagined the “flip book” was going to be.

What an amazing & clever way to go on bedtime adventures with my little ones!

There is an abundance of choice for the kiddos to choose their story plots for the evening.

The book is big, sturdy, and the flip sections are solid and tough enough for my 2 & 4 year old to rummage through with the most beautiful graphics that the kids & I absolutely LOVE

I highly recommend this book if telling the story of Goldilocks for the 2,365th time is getting boring (despite being asked for most nights by your kids) - my kiddos have all but forgotten about their most requested traditional stories and much prefer this wonderful book!
