Hi, I'm Pavitra De Silva

Bedtime stories built by a fellow parent

I'm Pavitra De Silva, a solo app developer, storyteller, and parent who cherishes the quiet magic of reading to my child. When I couldn't find enough thoughtful, age-appropriate tales, I began writing our own nightly adventures—and that is where Baboo Stories took root.

Today I'm shaping a calm, meaningful library for families like ours, where technology feels warm, intentional, and simply supports the connection you already have with your kids.

Quick facts

  • Proud bedtime narrator

    Crafting nightly stories for my little one sparked the first Baboo Stories drafts.

  • Research-backed routines

    Reading five short stories a day adds up to about 20 new stories every month—so I'm building a library that keeps fresh ideas ready for you.

  • Rooted in shared heritage

    I grew up on Sri Lankan folklore and modern fantasy, and I want every child to see themselves in our tales.

The parent story behind Baboo Stories

Hi there! I'm a solo app developer—and more importantly, a parent.

Like many moms and dads, I love reading stories to my child. But I quickly realized that finding high-quality, age-appropriate stories was harder than expected.

Research recommends reading five short stories a day to young children. You repeat the same five for a week and then rotate. That meant I needed around 20 new stories every month—and most of what I found just didn't meet the mark.

So I started writing my own stories—simple, meaningful, and inspired by the tales I heard growing up. And just like that, Baboo Stories was born.

It's a growing collection of carefully written, heartfelt stories made for parents to enjoy with their kids—just like I do with mine.

I hope these stories become a part of your special moments too.

Your feedback and shares help me keep improving and building something truly valuable for families around the world.

Enjoy Baboo Stories!
