The Krissy Hall Library

For the grown-ups

Reading it together

What this library is, and what it does with your child’s answers.

Three reading levels, one story

Every page of every Little Stars book exists three times over — Little, Young and Grown. They are not summaries of one another: she wrote each one. That means the same book works for a three-year-old on a lap and a nine-year-old reading alone, and a family does not have to leave a book behind when a child outgrows the shortest version of it. Switch levels mid-page and the picture stays put; only the words change.

Read-aloud, ready when you are

Little Explorers uses warm adult narration recorded locally with Kokoro, served from this site alongside the illustrations. Other readers retain the speech voice built into your browser. Replay, volume and page controls keep the Little Explorers reading in your hands.

What happens to what a child taps

Nothing leaves the browser.
The reading level, the page reached in each book, and anything typed into a game are written to this device's own storage and never transmitted. There is no server that could receive it, no account, no analytics, no cookie.
Clearing site data clears it.
Which also means it does not follow a child to another device, and a shared family tablet shares one set of answers.
No adult can read it remotely.
That is deliberate. Sit next to them instead.
It is not medical advice.
These are children's books. Anything that worries you belongs with your doctor, not a website.

The two big books have a site of their own

Save the World and Take Care of You are long books for older readers, and one of them deals with leaving an unsafe situation. They live at takecareofyou.bornbetween2generals.com, which is built for that: a quick exit on every page, crisis resources carried verbatim, and a privacy page that states plainly what it does not protect against. This library links there rather than shipping a thinner copy.
