This is a wonderful resource. I use it as a teacher in an early years classroom. It sparks students’ ideas when they write their own stories and when we do bookmaking. They also just love flicking through the book and having a giggle over the different combinations of stories.
Thank you for this great product.

I came across this book online and had to buy it, and I'm so glad I did! The delivery was super quick, great quality book and bedtime has never been so fun and engaging. Every night without fail my 3 kids love picking out the story prompts. It's been a game changer. My 4 year old would never listen when I'd read to them before bed and now he listens and engages and connects every time. Super fun for them and for me as the parent. I will be buying as gifts because this book needs to be shared. I tell everyone I know about this amazing book.

I use this book in my preschool room for after lunch stories. The children have engaged with great enthusiasm. They work together to choose the different parts for the day and then all contribute to the evolving story. I write the children’s stories down and the children draw pictures to go along with them.
Great resource. Thanks so much!

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.
