## What is Minari?

Minari is a children’s story app built around one idea: the best stories don’t just entertain — they have something to say.

Designed for ages 3-8.

Explore curated stories or create personalized adventures starring characters your child designs, set in worlds they choose.

Every story is woven with themes like kindness, courage, empathy, and patience — not as a lesson plan, but as the heart of a genuinely good story. The kind where your child naturally wonders what it means to be brave, or what it feels like to forgive, because the character they care about is going through it too.

Curated Stories
Browse stories organized by age, theme, and meaningful life moments. From everyday challenges to imaginative adventures, each story is crafted to feel relevant, engaging, and worth talking about.

Create Your Own
Choose a theme, select a scenario, and pick a setting — from playgrounds to outer space. Minari creates a one-of-a-kind illustrated story in moments. With dozens of scenarios across 24 unique themes, every story feels fresh and intentional.

Custom Characters
Design a character that looks like your child — or let their imagination run wild. Choose from kid, animal, or mythical characters with options for hair, eyes, skin tone, and more. Assistive devices like wheelchairs, glasses, and hearing aids are included so every child can see themselves in the story.

Audio Narration
Add voice narration to any story with adjustable speed, skip controls, and synchronized scrolling. Stories include natural pause moments and gentle "wonder questions" that invite conversation.

Beautiful Illustrations
Every story includes original cover art and illustrations throughout, each created to reflect the mood, setting, and heart of the story.

Track the Journey
See which themes your child has explored, earn badges along the way, and log real-world moments — like when you notice patience or kindness showing up beyond the page.

Built for Families
Create profiles for multiple children with age-appropriate content (ages 3–8). Choose between quick reads and full-length stories, save favorites to your library, and shape stories around what matters most to your family.

The kind of stories your child will remember.

Download Minari and make storytime the best part of your day.
