Jesus with children, a lamb, a dog and a cat
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

The science of bedtime

The last minutes before sleep are when your child\'s heart absorbs the most.

As children drift toward sleep, the brain enters a theta-wave state and begins sleep-dependent memory consolidation — moving what was just experienced into long-term memory. The critical, questioning filter lowers. What a child hears now settles quietly into who they become.

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 letter from the founder

Why I built Talitha

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

We are raising our children 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 and the subconscious.

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 the hearts of our children.

— Michael, founder of Talitha
