with your kid about
kindness. And more.

How it works
Pick a card.
Read it together.
Talk — or don't.
Open a deck, choose a virtue that fits the moment — the quiet car ride, the restless bedtime, the question that came out of nowhere. Tap a card.
Each card holds one old tale, gently retold in language a four-year-old can follow and a nine-year-old won't outgrow. Three discussion questions sit at the back — use them, skip them, or let the silence be enough.
There's no quiz. No streak. No notification competing with the moment you're in.
Choose a virtue
Seven decks. Each card named by the exact aspect it explores: “Courage to stand up for a friend.”
Read the tale
Old tales from many traditions — Grimm, Andersen, Aesop among them — that have held up for centuries. A gentle retelling gives the grown-up just enough to bring the tale to life.
Let the conversation find its own shape
Three prompts sit ready — for when you want them. The app never pushes you to use them.

It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope.

Built differently
An app you use with your child deserves your full trust.
We built Tale Virtues with our own kids in mind — without analytics, without ad trackers, and without any infrastructure for tracking usage at all. This was a choice, not a constraint.
Made for the quiet hour
when a parent and a child sit together.
