Empowering Our Children

Our unique storybook app is designed by experts to promote social-emotional learning (or SEL), which empowers children to understand themselves and the world around them.

Research shows that well-developed SEL skills lead to many positive outcomes, such as improved mental health and academic performance. Studies reveal that storytelling is one of the best ways to improve social-emotional skills for toddlers. Every aspect of our app is vetted by both experts and parents, so we only offer the resources we use in our own families!

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

The core of SEL is self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.

Our storybook app provides a safe learning environment where children can develop these skills as they identify their emotions and learn to self-regulate.

Zoy’s Story

How did Zoy come to be? Our story starts with a small but mighty epiphany …

Discovering a Good Elephant in the Room

As parents of two boys, our founders Afshin and Sahar are no strangers to the importance of developing social-emotional skills and their positive impact on a child’s life

Reading bedtime stories as a family had always been a highlight of their day. They realized that even five minutes of dedicated time before bed could give them a chance to connect after a long day. Through years of reading to their two boys, Afshin and Sahar have seen the power that stories hold as a skill-building tool and are excited to provide a platform that combines their love of bedtime stories with the skills kids need to thrive.

The development of these crucial social-emotional learning skills and mental health go hand-in-hand.
