🏫 For teachers and parents
- Safe by design: everything is chosen from menus except the first name, and the story is built on the child’s own device. Nothing is saved or sent.
- Every story teaches: each one ends with “What really happens”, true science from trusted sources, with a link to learn more. The thunderstorm and hail stories show kids going indoors and staying safe.
- Classroom idea: each student makes and prints a story, illustrates it, and then reads the “What really happens” part aloud to the class.
- More ideas in the Teachers’ Corner.
