Leave the light on. We’ll take it from here.

Gentle stories for calm evenings and close moments, written by a mother of three. Every story gets a little slower page by page, until it is time to sleep.

Dim the day

Every night, the light gets a little lower.

Four small steps from a busy evening to a sleepy room. Do them in the same order every night, so your child always knows what comes next.

  1. Bright and busy

    Dinner done, toys everywhere. Time to start turning things down.

  2. Pick tonight’s story

    Curl up close and choose one story together. Just one is enough.

  3. Read it slowly

    Each page is a little calmer than the last. With Fingertales, your fingertip plays the story too.

  4. Nightlight on

    Quiet room, heavy eyes. Goodnight to you both.

Fingertales Touch-Along Bedtime Stories

You read the story aloud while one hand gently plays it: a soft tap, a slow glide, a warm circle. Your child’s face becomes Pillow Land, their back becomes the Night Zoo, and the story winds down until your hand rests still.

  • 3 stories in every bookA rhyming story to look at together, then two Touch-Along stories for bedtime.
  • One hand, soft touchesLittle maps show where each touch goes. The other hand holds the book.
  • Always ask “May I?”If your child would rather not be touched tonight, simply read the story.

The author

Korinna Leányvári

Korinna is a Hungarian-born author and the mother of three sons. Her first book, a collection of short stories, was published in Budapest when she was 23.

More than thirty years ago her first son could not fall asleep, so she invented a new kind of bedtime story: she read it aloud while her fingertip gently played the story on his face. All three of her sons still remember it.

LullabyFlow is the home of her stories. Fingertales comes first, and more books for young children and families will follow.

“I made this up for my first son, who could not fall asleep. Thirty-three years later, all three of my sons still remember it.”
