01 A story made for them

Dear Jamie,

Today I rowed across Lighthouse Cove in my little boat. I found a lantern with a loose handle.

I tied it with a blue ribbon from my boat. It worked! Jamie, what would you bring on a boat adventure?

Your friend,
Ollie

The mail I wished I’d gotten.

As a kid, I always checked the mail hoping something would be for me. I started Little Letters so children could feel that excitement—with stories that know their name and make them feel remembered.

Questions parents ask

A few details before the first letter.

Who are Little Letters for?

Little Letters is recommended for ages 4–10. Ages 3–12 are welcome too, with language shaped around the age you share.

What do I need to provide?

You will share the child's name, age, and a few safe interests or personality details we can turn into a warm story.

How does shipping work?

Shipping is included with every plan. We currently ship within the United States, and you will enter the recipient address during secure checkout.

When will the first letter arrive?

Letters mail on the 1st and 15th. Orders placed before the cutoff, usually two business days before a mail date, join the next mailing; later orders move to the following one instead of being rushed.

Can I give this as a gift?

Yes. Choose 3, 6, or 12 months and make one payment for the complete experience. Shipping is included, and you are charged only once.

Will I be charged again?

No. Every Little Letters package is a one-time purchase. You choose how many months to send, pay once, and the experience ends after the final letter unless you decide to purchase another.

Will the stories be age-appropriate?

Yes. We use the age and child-safe interests you provide to keep stories gentle, encouraging, and appropriate for young readers. After production is complete, we'll send you a parent preview of what's inside, so you can feel confident about the contents while your child gets the excitement of opening it all on their own.

Illustrative sample · age 5

A little look inside.

This example shows the feel of a letter. Your child’s stories will be made around their details.

Dear Jamie,

This morning, I rowed my little boat across Lighthouse Cove. A soft breeze pushed the clouds along. On the shore, I found a small lantern with a loose handle. The lighthouse keeper needed it for her evening walk. I wanted to help, but the handle kept slipping! I sat on a smooth rock and thought of you. What could hold it in place?

Then I spotted a piece of blue ribbon in my boat. I looped it through the handle and tied a snug bow. The keeper gave the handle a gentle tug. It stayed put! We carried the lantern up the path together. I felt proud that I had stopped to think and tried a new idea. Jamie, what would you put in a little boat for an adventure? I would save a seat for you.

Your friend,
Ollie
