Military family program
For the families who move, and wait, and keep bedtime going anyway
Verified active duty, Guard, Reserve, and veteran families get 20 percent off Story Club and Family Club.
Why this program exists
Deployment and PCS are hard on children in ways a story can actually help with
Not because a picture book fixes a year apart, but because a child who can hold a story about it has something to point at when they cannot find the words.
The countdown book
A story that counts down the sleeps until a parent comes home, so a small child has something concrete to hold onto instead of an abstract month.
The new house, the new room
A moving story set in the actual next place, with the child's own things arriving in it. Familiarity before the boxes even land.
A parent who is far away but still here
The deployed parent appears in the story as themselves — same face, same jacket — doing ordinary things alongside their child.
Saying goodbye to a friend
PCS season means losing people. A story that lets a child name that loss and still expect to make a new friend.
Verification
How we check, and what we refuse to keep
Verification runs through a third-party service built for this. We receive a status and a reference, and nothing else.
We never store your documents
No orders, no DD-214, no ID scans, no photographs of anything. Those go to the verifier, not to us. Our database holds a status such as approved or expired, the verifier's reference number, and the date. That is deliberately all we are able to leak.
The states you can be in
- Not startedYou have not begun verification yet. Full price applies.
- PendingThe verifier is checking. We hold your discount intent but do not apply it yet.
- ApprovedThe discount applies at your next checkout or renewal.
- Needs manual reviewThe verifier could not decide automatically. A person looks at it.
- ExpiredVerification has aged out and can be renewed in one step.
Not yet live
The verification provider is not contracted yet, so the discount cannot be claimed today. The account flow, the states above, and the honest waiting screen are all built — we would rather show you the plan than pretend the button works. The contact page will reach a person if you want to be told when it opens.
Thank you, genuinely
We are not going to make a speech about it. The discount is the point, and it comes off the price of the plan rather than being bundled into something you did not ask for.
