Bedtime stories when you’re away from home

A change of scene is exciting, but it can throw bedtime right off, especially when the favourite books are sitting on a shelf at home.

Keep one thing the same

When everything else is different (a strange room, a later night, too much sun), keeping the bedtime story constant gives children an anchor. It says: even here, this part is the same.

You do not need to pack the bookshelf

A story on your phone means there is always one ready, with nothing to remember and nothing to carry. It is the reason so many of our families say the away-from-home nights are when they value it most.

Lean into where you are

On holiday, a tale set by the sea or up a mountain can make the day’s adventure part of the story. A little personalisation goes a long way when everything else feels unfamiliar.
