Tales By You
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.

The states you can be in

  • Not started
    You have not begun verification yet. Full price applies.
  • Pending
    The verifier is checking. We hold your discount intent but do not apply it yet.
  • Approved
    The discount applies at your next checkout or renewal.
  • Needs manual review
    The verifier could not decide automatically. A person looks at it.
  • Expired
    Verification has aged out and can be renewed in one step.

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.
