Where Screens Meet Storytime

Digital Books,
Done Right

01 - Our Origins


We started Little Digital because we wanted to shape the future of digital publishing in a way that uses tech to enhance a story, rather than turning it into a mindless distraction.

We believe digital books can be just as charming, heartfelt, and beautifully crafted as their print counterparts—only with the added magic of accessibility, sustainability, and affordability. Because if you’ve got a phone, you’ve got a whole library at your fingertips!

02 - A Letter from the Founder


As a parent of three (7, 4, and 4 months—Reader, I am tired), I get it. Kids are glued to screens, and it’s unsettling. But I’ve realized it’s not just about the screen—it’s about what’s on the screen. (Skibidi Toilet, anyone? If you know, you know.)

Technology isn’t going anywhere... something my screentime reports love to remind me (I’m working on it). But in the meantime, we can do better for our kids.

So, let’s turn screentime into storytime.

A Few Things to Know About Little Digital


Who we are:
Little Digital was founded by former children’s publishing pros Lauren Kukla and Rachael Thomas.

Who we create for: Our stories are designed for kids ages 2 to 8 (and the parents reading along).

How our library works: Each story uses a scrollable format with gentle interactions and animations, enhancing the experience without turning it into a tap-happy game.

How to access them: Our full library is available with a $5/month subscription.

But what about print books? We LOVE them. We’re not here to replace bedtime stories (select Little Digital titles are even available to buy in print), we just believe digital books have a place, too. And when it comes to shaping the future of kids’ digital reading, we think parents and children’s publishers should lead the way… not Jeff Bezos.‍

03 - Work With Us!


Digital books have the power to reshape publishing for the better, putting more control (and earnings) in the hands of authors and illustrators instead of executives, middlemen, and [insert whatever celebrity just got a book deal].

We’re always on the lookout for fresh talent and bold ideas. If you’re a writer, illustrator, or creative thinker who believes in the future of digital storytelling, let’s talk! ‍
