Story Sparks: The Bedtime Story Game-Changer!

As a grandparent, I’m always looking for ways to make reading time magical. Story Sparks isn't just a book—it’s a brilliant little imagination machine!

The promise of "over 1,000 plot combinations" is definitely delivered. This book makes it incredibly easy to ditch the boring old stories and jump straight into an impromptu adventure. We use it right before bed, and the kids love getting to choose random elements—a crazy character, a surprising setting, and a wild object—to build the tale.

What I love most is that it truly makes storytelling collaborative and stress-free. You don't have to be a master storyteller; the prompts give you the spark, and the creative joy takes over. My grandchildren are giggling, guessing, and helping me figure out how the brave astronaut and the grumpy squirrel ended up in a deep-sea submarine!

If you want a fun, engaging, and genuinely easy way to ignite creativity and banish bedtime boredom, I highly recommend Story Sparks. It turns reading into a shared, imaginative game every single night.

Postage

Looks great but, like many of these things, such a high percentage of the cost in postage (only one book needed) makes it unviable.

We charge $9.95 postage for a single book and free postage if you order more. The true cost of postage is actually $12-$18 depending on delivery address. You can order the book through most local bookstores to avoid postage costs

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.
