Background on the team, location, and how we work.
Smart Stuff Studios is a small, independent creative studio based in Atlanta, Georgia. We build bilingual children's books, AI-illustrated storybooks, podcast content, real estate marketing videos, local SEO services, and a handful of niche tools. We're a tiny team — fewer than 5 people — and we ship a lot.
Our studio is in Atlanta, Georgia (USA). We work with creators, schools, and small businesses across the US and a few international customers. Time zone: Eastern (UTC-5/-4).
The studio was founded in 2024. Our first Find Luna book (Zoo) shipped in May 2024. Since then we've launched 10 bilingual books, 12 storybook titles, a podcast, a baby names guide, and grown the SEO and video services.
All three, depending on the product. Our kids' books are self-published under our own imprint. Our SEO and video services are agency-style (we do the work for you). Storybook Studio and Baby Names are SaaS tools you use yourself.
Yes, on a project basis. Email [email protected] with a brief — we respond within 1 business day.
Our 10 bilingual hidden-object books and 12 AI-illustrated storybooks.
Ages 3-8. Younger kids (3-5) love the hide-and-seek with Luna; older kids (6-8) read independently in English or Spanish and use the narration for pronunciation help. The bilingual format is genuinely useful for ELL students up through middle school.
Find Luna is a series of 10 bilingual (English/Spanish) interactive hidden-object adventure books — kids find Luna in each scene. Storybook Studio is 12 original AI-illustrated children's books in different art styles (watercolor, woodblock, Dr Seuss-inspired, etc.) — think of them as beautiful picture books with read-aloud narration and personalization.
Yes. All our interactive books run in any modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge) on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Chromebook. No app install required. Audio works on iOS after a single tap (browser autoplay rules).
Yes. Every Find Luna book includes full English and Spanish narration. There's a language toggle at the top of every page. The English and Spanish text are written by native speakers, not machine-translated.
The first scene of every Find Luna book is free to play. Just visit any book URL and click "Let's Go." Storybook Studio offers a free sample book too.
After checkout you'll receive an email with a direct link to your book (works on any device) plus optional PDF download. The link doesn't expire — bookmark it or revisit anytime. If you lose the link, email us and we'll resend it.
Yes. After purchase, share the book link via email, text, or any messaging app. The recipient doesn't need an account.
Yes — the All-Access Pass ($29.99) gives you every Find Luna book (10) plus all Storybook Studio books (12) and the Bedtime Podcast. It's the best value and updates automatically when we add new titles.
Everything teachers, admins, and IT need to know before bringing Find Luna into a classroom.
Yes. No student accounts, no data collected from children, no in-app purchases, no external tracking, no analytics on the reading experience. The books are read-only interactive content. Teachers can assign books directly to students with zero IT setup required.
FERPA doesn't apply to us directly because we don't receive any student education records. We have no PII to protect. We never see student names, IDs, grades, or progress. (The closest we come is the optional "pilot agreement" form teachers can fill out — that's stored in our business CRM, not on student devices.)
Yes. Our school packet includes CCSS ELA alignments (RL.K-3) and WIDA English Language Development standards. State-specific correlations are available for NC, SC, GA, FL, TX, and CA on request.

• School — $499/year (unlimited teachers + students, all books)
• District — Custom pricing, onboarding included
Free 30-day pilot available — no procurement, no PO required.
No. Teachers and schools can pay by credit card and start using the books immediately. We can also generate a W-9, invoice, or quote for districts that need it.
Almost none. Books run in any modern browser. They work on Chromebooks, iPads, Mac, Windows, and Android. No app install. No VPN. No firewall rules. No admin privileges. If students can access YouTube, they can access Find Luna.

Yes — every story is calm, soothing, and ends with a soft goodnight. Voice is gentle, music is quiet, sound effects are minimal. Designed to help kids drift off, not stay awake.

Never. We don't sell, rent, share, or trade customer data. Ever. We don't have ad networks on our properties. We don't have analytics that follow you across the web. Privacy policy: smartstuffstudios.com/privacy.
