Completely unpolitical.
There’s never any explicit content, sexuality, gore, or excessive violence.
Just classic storytelling with heart, adventure, and traditional good values.
We focus on stories that naturally celebrate family unity, good character, community, and timeless virtues.
Our stories naturally resonate with families who value heritage, community, individuality, and strong foundational principles. Because our adventures take place in timeless fantasy realms, we focus entirely on universal virtues like honor, duty, respecting our elders, loyalty, protecting the weak, defending one's loved ones from any evil enemies, and contributing to the greater good of the community etc., rather than modern political debate.
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. We just provide 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 or demons, but they are clearly portrayed as the villains, never idolized, and always defeated by the good heroes in the end.
Many of our stories use magic as a metaphor for power, secrets, or special gifts. These stories may feature both good and bad witches fighting, or someone using a magical object in a battle against an evil villain. The good witches may be positioned as the heroes but not because they can do magic, but because of what they choose to do with their power.
In stories that feature magic, the true underlying message is about how great power is used (for good or evil); it's not a promotion for witchcraft or spellcasting.
Your kids will come away with an inspring message on how to use a powerful tool or poweufl position (iut ocudl be inheriting a magic staff, or in our world inheriting money, gettin ga powerful political position, becoming a business leader, being place din charge of impolrtnat decisions etc.) for good, resist temptations, stand firm int ehir belifs nad values, and resist evil.
Our stories don't leave kids with a message of "magic solves my problems so I want to become a witch"; instead, it leaves them with a message of "if I have great power, I want to use it for good and be a hero like Mia."
It's not a story that will inspire them to go hunting for a stick in the woods or buy a plastic wand and start casting spells at home. It's meant to inspire them to align with positive values that are taught through the stories. Fantasy elements such as unicorns, witches, elves, and wizards are all colorful decor, substitutes for complex adult situations, dilemmas, hardships, temptations, and struggles in our real world.
Vivid, exciting fantasy stories remain with us much longer than dry moral lessons.
If you tell a child "do not succumb to pressure and do evil ever" that's a dry lesson that's hard to imagine or relate to. If you show them a weak, little teen witch being chased by an army of demons who want her to use her magic to create a deadly ice spell to help them destroy the world, then that lesson comes to life in a vivid, easy-to-imagine way. They connect with the message on an emotional level. The child can experience the fear, the excitement, the triumph through the character's life, decisions, and adventures. They relate to her, they hold their breath when she flees and hides from the enemy, they cheer her when she resists the evil, and they celebrate her triumph in the end. The lesson, the underlying message, remains the same, but the way it's taught is far more impactful, memorable, and effective.
Later in life, if as an adult your child is faced with a choice if to use a position of power to harm others due to pressure or threats from powerful, scary enemies threatning them, or to resist and use their power for good, the hope is that they'll remember what their favorite character Mia did in one of the stories they loved as a kid, and draw courage form that. Remember how she struggled with the same question when she had to decide what to do with a magic clock she found which the army of evil witches wanted her to use to harm others, and how even though her enemies were stronger and threatened her and she was scared, she said no, stood firm in her idea of what was right and wrong, refused to help the evil, did the right thing, and in the end everything worked out well for her.
Many of our stories focus on the battle between good and evil—and the good wins.
These stories inspire, uplift, motivate, and encourage readers.
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, 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, most of our fantasy stories aren't for you. However, we have some without any magic.
Yes.
We have several stories with talking animals and cute adventures without any magic.
Check the parental guidance on each story; we label those without magic as "No Magic".
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.
Nothing vulgar or offensive.
Our dialogue matches the timeless feel of classic fairytales.
While villains might express anger or hurl mild, amusing insults (like calling someone a fool, dummy, or an inane glaikit moron), our stories NEVER feature modern profanity, crude language, adult profanity, or vulgarity.
Every book includes a clear language rating so you can choose what fits your family best."
Our stories NEVER feature words like sh*t, the F* word, a*hole, d*head, 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). However, not all our characters are perfect; you'll encounter realistic ones with relatable human weaknesses.
In some stories, there might be betrayal, loss, failure, temptation, lies, deceit, greed, wickedness, kindness, courage, love, forgiveness, redemption, healing, and a satisfying ending. The evil is either healed or defeated; it does not triumph or destroy the good. For instance, a witch won't be idolized as a hero after destroying a village of innocent people, nor will she triumph in the end.
Not all families or characters are utopian and perfect; sometimes there is a bad character (like in A Deal with a Ghost, there's one selfish, cowardly brother who 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.
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, justice, fairness, friendship, love, kindness, and more.
Our authors support family, friendships, personal responsibility, honest work, morality, freedom, freedom of speech, tolerance for different opinions and beliefs, personal accountability, hard work, independent thinking, mutual respect, and the courage to protect loved ones from harm (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.
Abortion is never mentioned, discussed, or promoted. That's an adult topic, and it's up to you how and if you'd like to discuss it with your children.
Some stories might feature a broken family because that's part of life and part of the plot, but they do it in a way that brings hope and teaches courage, resilience, love, forgiveness, supporting each other, second chances, self-love and acceptance, and healing.
We don't specifically tell readers to have kids, nor do we tell them not to have kids.
We don't tell them to have 12 kids for God, nor do well them to not have any kids to save the planet. That's up to you how you want to educate your kids.
Kids and marriage appear in stories where that's part of the plot.
In some stories, the characters get married and have kids, while in other stories, they simply have various adventures that don't involve starting a family. What we do promise is that stories that do feature families don't portray them in a negative light or promote divorce or abortions.
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.
