Talitha is in its test phase, so you’re early. We’re looking for 20 families to test it: seven evenings free, no card. Tell us honestly afterwards what moved your child and what we can do better, and we gift you the first year, a €120 value. The test group is small on purpose, so every family is heard.

A grandma or grandpa? Talitha makes a wonderful gift.

Honestly

Most evenings look nothing like what you planned.

You want to give your child something that lasts. And then it is half past seven, the day was long, and there is just enough left for brushing teeth and lights out.

Maybe there is a devotional on the shelf. Bought with the best intentions, opened twice. Maybe you read aloud, and after two minutes your child was somewhere else entirely.

And then there is the quiet thought almost nobody says out loud: my child knows the stories. But do they know the one the stories are about?

Talitha takes none of that longing away from you. It only takes away the preparation.

You do not need to be able to explain anything. The story arrives finished, every morning.

You do not need to prepare anything. Five to ten minutes in the evening, that is all.

You do not need to feel qualified. You only need to read aloud.

This is what your child receives

The very first story.

Lumi, the glowing little lamb
Day 1 · Being Loved

The Light on the Distant Hill

There is an hour, late at night, when the whole world seems to be asleep. The houses are dark, the streets are still, and only here and there a child is still awake. In this hour, and only in this one, it can happen that someone taps at the window. Someone who brings a wonder, just for this one child.

For Nora, tonight was the night. She lay under her blanket and could not fall asleep. Something tingled in her tummy, as if something lovely was about to happen, and she did not yet know what.

Then she heard it. Very softly, on the window. Tap. Tap. Tap. As gentle as little soap bubbles touching the glass.

There was a shimmer at the window, warm and golden, and it moved ever so slightly, as if it were breathing. And then, very slowly, it took a shape. First two gentle eyes. And then a little lamb was sitting on the windowsill, with wool that glowed like a candle from within.

“Do not be afraid,” said the lamb, and its voice was so soft and so warm that Nora felt a little braver at once. “I am Lumi. Would you like to see something only very few have ever seen?” Nora nodded.

Then Lumi pressed her small, glowing forehead softly against the window. And where she touched the glass, it began to shine. A warm, golden glow spread out, slowly, the way the sun rises in the morning, until there was no glass left. Where the window had just been, there was now a door of soft, golden light. Nora held her breath. And behind the door was not the street. Behind the door lay …

What happens next?

This is right where it gets beautiful.

What Nora finds beyond the door, the land where nothing good is ever lost, your child gets to discover tonight for the very first time. And a new story waits every evening after.

Read on, free

This is how your child reads their own story every evening, with their name and their companion woven right in.

The science of bedtime

Before sleep, a child's heart is wide open.

As children drift toward sleep, the brain enters a theta-wave state and begins sleep-dependent memory consolidation and gently stores what it just experienced in long-term memory. A story told in this calm, safe moment stays with a child: the ritual, the warmth, the values.

We don't fill this precious window with empty entertainment, but with the values of Jesus that last a lifetime.

Based on the sleep & memory research of Prof. Robert Stickgold (Harvard Medical School) and Prof. Matthew Walker (UC Berkeley), “Why We Sleep”, 2017.

  • A new chapter every evening of the ongoing saga, with your child as the hero
  • The weekly keepsake PDF to print and collect: after a year, you hold your own family read-aloud book

For grandparents

Give closeness, every single evening.

Many grandparents carry a quiet question in their heart: who will tell my grandchild about Jesus? Talitha is a gentle answer. A toy is forgotten within a week. Ten minutes of reading aloud every evening stays for a lifetime.

It is this simple: you sign up your grandchild with their name, mom or dad reads aloud at bedtime, and you know: the last thing they hear today is a story about the love of Jesus. A quiet way to stay close, even from far away.

Reserve a spot for your grandchild

Free during the test phase, and for test families the whole first year. Afterwards €9.99 a month, cancel anytime.

Rooted in Scripture

Not another fairy tale.

Every Talitha story is gently told, but at its heart it is never make-believe. The values your child lives, the words that close each evening, the quiet invitation to speak with Jesus, all of it is drawn from His own teachings.

The adventures are tender imagination, a doorway a child can walk through. But what waits on the other side is real: the love of the Good Shepherd, in words He truly spoke. Even the name, Talitha, is a word Jesus once spoke to lift a child back into life.

No vague spirituality. No “the universe,” no energy, no magic-as-power. Just Jesus, gently, faithfully, night after night.

The arc of the saga

From day 1 your child lives the values of Jesus inside the adventure and learns to pray with folded hands.

From day 31 the Good Shepherd himself steps into the story and speaks the real words of Jesus.

From day 61 he tells them his name: Jesus. By then he has long been a friend.

As with Aslan in Narnia: first you know him and love him, then you learn his name. Nothing is hidden. Every morning email invites your child, from the very first evening, to talk to Jesus himself, and names the original Bible verse for you to read together as a family.

Nothing is hidden. It unfolds the way trust unfolds.

The meaning behind the name

Why “Talitha”?

When Jesus reached for a child the world had given up on, He took her hand and spoke two gentle words: “Talitha koum”, “Little one, I say to you, arise.”

The word is tender, rooted in the Aramaic for lamb, the voice of the Good Shepherd lifting a little one into life. That is our whole purpose: every night, a few quiet words that help your child rise, in faith, in worth, in love.

Mark 5:41

Honest answers

What parents often ask us

I feel unsure in my own faith. Is that enough?

Yes. You do not have to explain anything or get anything right. You read what is there. At the end of every story, Talitha invites your child to talk to Jesus themselves. That is the part you do not have to manage, it is already written.

My child stops listening after two minutes.

Then the story is at fault, not your child. In Talitha your child is the hero, with their own name, their pet, their friends. And the story does not end, it continues tomorrow. Children stay with a story when they want to know how it goes on.

We already have a devotional nobody uses.

We know that one. A book asks someone to remember it, open it and find the right page. Talitha arrives on its own every morning, finished, ready for the evening. You only have to sit down.

Is it preachy or trying to convert?

No. Your child lives the values as an adventure, never as a lesson. No wagging finger, no pressure. They feel the love and carry it into sleep.

Which denomination is behind it?

None. This is not about Protestant or Catholic, it is about the pure teaching of Jesus, what He truly said. Non-denominational, for every Christian family, simply the essence.

What age is it for?

Made for ages 4 to 8, the read-aloud sweet spot. When you sign up you choose your child’s age group, so the tone and length fit.

What does Talitha cost?

As one of the 20 test families: nothing. You receive the first year as a gift. After the official launch, Talitha is €9.99 a month, that is 33 cents per evening, cancel anytime.

How long does the story go on?

Talitha is an ongoing saga, not a supply that runs out. It grows week by week and matures with your child.

We have more than one child. Does that work?

Yes. Simply sign up each child separately. Each one gets their own saga, with their own name and companions.

Who writes the stories?

Michael, the founder, develops every story with AI support, reviews each one himself word by word, and anchors it in the real words and deeds of Jesus. Nothing goes out that has not passed through his heart.

When does Jesus himself appear in the stories?

From the very first evening. Every morning email invites your child to talk to Jesus himself and names the original Bible verse. Inside the stories it unfolds gently, a little like Narnia: from day 31 the Good Shepherd himself appears and speaks the real words of Jesus, and from day 61 he tells them his name. So your child comes to love him first and learns his name after, not the other way round.

Can grandparents give Talitha as a gift?

Yes, wonderfully. Give your grandchild a story every evening: you sign up with the child’s name, and mom or dad reads it aloud at bedtime. A quiet way to stay close, even from far away.

Do I need an app or a screen?

No. The story arrives each morning by simple email, and you read it aloud at night. Completely screen-free.

Can I stop anytime?

Yes, with one click. During the test phase there is no card and no risk.

Is my data safe?

We use your child’s first name and your email only to make the story personal. Never shared, never sold, deletable anytime.

A letter from the founder

Why I built Talitha

Michael, founder of Talitha

Michael

Founder of Talitha

Let me be honest: Talitha is far more than a business to me. It is something I built from the depths of my heart and conviction, and keep building.

Children today are growing up in a world that never stops pulling at them: endless screens, bright colors, content that conveys anything but Christian values, designed at best only to hook them and sell to them. I wanted to build a quiet counterweight.

Because there is one moment the noise cannot reach: the few minutes before sleep, when a child's heart is wide open. What we plant there takes root for life.

I grew up with a children's Bible too, but it never truly reached me. It felt foreign, with no place in my life, so I forgot nearly all of it. Talitha is the opposite: your child becomes the hero of the story. They live it up close, and through their own little adventures the love and values of Jesus find their way naturally into their heart, not as a lesson, but as something they feel, experience, and carry with them into sleep.

I'll admit it openly: some of these stories bring me to tears. They move me deeply, and I pray they move your child and you just the same. So often we worry about a child's health and safety and forget the most important thing: the growth of their heart, the ability to love, to open up, to build a deep connection with Jesus, one that gives them far more than the world ever could. Childhood is when we get to lay that foundation.

This work was born in a season of deep closeness with the Holy Spirit, by someone who loves Jesus with all his heart and gives his life to Him. My prayer is simple: may these stories help your child grow into someone who walks hand in hand with Jesus and carries His values into the world.

Walk this path with us. Tell us what moves your child, and what we can do better. We are only at the beginning, and we want to grow it together, with you.

For your child's heart.

Michael, founder of Talitha
