Who We’re For
Our website is designed for kids aged 8 to 14 and the grown-ups who care about them.
We believe young people deserve great journalism—without ads, tracking, or creepy data collection.
What We Collect — and Why
We keep data collection minimal and purposeful.
When you browse the site:
We do not collect any personal information.
We may use basic analytics to understand which stories are popular (e.g., page views), but we never track individual users.
When you subscribe or contact us:
We collect your email address (from a parent or guardian) to send newsletters or respond to messages.
We do not share this with anyone outside our team.
​
For Kids: Read This!
We don’t ask for your full name, school name, address, or phone number—ever.
If you want to share a review or send in a drawing, we’ll only publish your first name, age, and city, and only after checking with your grown-up.
No Ads, No Trackers
We do not show ads, and we do not use third-party trackers or cookies to follow you around the internet.
This is a safe reading zone.
Parent / Guardian Consent
Any submissions (stories, reviews, drawings, etc.) must come with a parent or guardian’s email for consent.
We will contact them before anything is published on our site.
Right to Edit or Delete
If you’ve submitted something and want it removed, or if your child’s name appears anywhere and you'd prefer it didn’t—just email us.
We’ll make changes or deletions within 48 hours.

External Links

Some stories may include links to cool books, videos, or safe educational websites.
We always check these first—but we recommend parents supervise younger readers when visiting other sites.
