Looking for stories you can feel good about handing to your kids?
At StoryJoy, we believe in letting kids be kids.
StoryJoy publishes fun, clean, wholesome books across all children’s genres.
Our books do NOT include any social or political agendas.
NO anti-America, anti-patriotism, anti-God, or anti-family messages.
There’s never any explicit content or excessive violence, just classic storytelling with heart, adventure, and traditional good values.
Our books do NOT promote any particular ideology, religion, or political affiliation; they're simply stories.
Completely unpolitical.
No matter your beliefs, religion, political affiliation, or parenting style, StoryJoy gives you safe, delightful stories your family can enjoy together.
Our mission is simple: great stories, no hidden messages, and total respect for every family’s values.
No, we don't promote any religion. It's up to you how you want to bring up your kids.
We neither promote nor speak against any specific religion. Just good stories.
It depends. Our stories often contain magical elements and fantasy creatures, whether it's fairies, witches, dragons, or goblins.
We do not promote black magic, Satanism, or evil witchcraft.
Our stories may feature evil witches, but they are clearly portrayed as the villains, never idolized, and always defeated by the good heroes in the end. Some of our stories focus on the battle between good and evil—and the good wins.
If you love Narnia, Dr. Seuss, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the classic Disney fairytales (Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, etc.), or any other fantasy stories you read as a kid back when the world was normal, our stories are for you.
Fantasy can be used to teach strong moral lessons in a way kids enjoy and understand: the battle between good and evil, the misuse of great power, the lure of evil to gain success or wealth without effort. Fantasy stories can show the importance of staying true to one’s beliefs, values, and moral compass, even when evil looms and threatens to destroy you for not participating. It can teach the courage to stand up for what’s right even when evil holds more power, the choice to fight for good even when there’s no reward or punishment at stake. It teaches the strength to stay true to yourself, to stand by friends through thick and thin, and to resist outside pressure and threats. It encourages pushing forward through the darkest night—and finally, defeating evil and overcoming it.
(By the way, both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were devout Christians who wrote fantasy.
Some Christians enjoy our stories. However, if you don’t want your kids to hear about any type of magic, it's not for you.
No. Some stories for older kids contain romance—the characters may hug, kiss innocently, or get married and live happily ever after, like innocent old Disney films. Romance is based on emotional connection. Clean and wholesome.
Certainly not.
Nope. There might be some phrases sometimes like "To hell with you!" or "Damn it!" but that's about as far as it goes.
Oh, sometimes the villains do hurl insults, but they're typically quite mild. For instance, they might use literary words that mean "stupid" but sound amusing like: "inane glaikit moron" (stupid senseless fool).
Our stories NEVER feature words like sh*t, the F* word, any derogatory words, or references to sexual body parts.
Some stories for older kids contain mild violence in action scenes like slaying a dragon, fighting monsters, or battling against evil witches. But all the scenes are described mildly, without any disturbing, intense horror or gore that would scare kids.
We include age ratings and parental advisories on each story.
Our stories feature kind, noble, brave, loyal heroes.
Through their actions and the outcomes, we show kids what good characters are like, giving them worthy role models to love and follow. We do not believe in the modern "anti-heroes" (aka turning villains into idols).
Our stories teach honesty, loyalty, bravery, finding courage even in the darkest times, overcoming hardship and obstacles, perseverance, empathy, traditional virtues, resilience, goals and achievement, success, individuality, personal growth, and more.
Our authors support family, friendships, personal responsibility, honest work, morality, freedom, freedom of speech, tolerance for different opinions and beliefs, capitalism, free markets, the right for self-defense (no pacifist "heroes" giving up and letting the dragon devour their friends and kingdom here), honesty, courage, compassion, self-reliance, forgiveness, kindness, and more.
We believe that personal merits, character, choices, and actions matter more than skin color, race, or gender.
A good human is a good human, no matter their physical looks or birth location.
In essence, our authors love children and convey values dear to them through their stories, such as loyalty, love for children and family, respect for one's elderly parents, grandparents, and relatives, honesty, strong family bonds, patience, loyalty, kindness, and more.
Examples might include scenes of a girl falling in love with a man and wanting to marry him and have a child together; a teenage girl going on thrilling adventures and fighting various monsters to find a cure for her old, frail grandmother; siblings overcoming quarrels and defending each other; a girl setting out on adventures in another dimension to save a baby whom a giant snatched; a boy becoming a hero for saving his brother; a family stranded on an island banding together to find a treasure and a way back home etc.
Not all families or characters are utopian and perfect; sometimes there is a bad character (like in A Deal with a Ghost, one selfish, cowardly brother abandons his siblings to be eaten by Trolls), or a character who has some weaknesses and makes mistakes, but those characters either learn their lessons, grow, and become better people, or are clearly villainized and fairly punished.
And no, abortion is never mentioned or promoted. Ever.
All our stories have an uplifting, positive end.
There may be dark times, hardships, challenges, or even some losses along the way, but there is always hope and a happy ending. In some stories, the heroine might be an orphan, or there may be mentions of a parent’s death. A fairytale might say a monster ate someone or mention a terrible witch killed hundreds of people—but always in a gentle, age-appropriate way that doesn’t frighten or upset children.
Each book includes a parental guidance advisory.
