StoryWeaver

What StoryWeaver is

StoryWeaver is a free web repository of open-licensed, multilingual children’s stories from Pratham Books. Readers can browse stories for early and more fluent readers, covering subjects such as math, science, history, and emotional intelligence. Parents, educators, writers, translators, and illustrators can create reading resources: users can write storybooks, choose from openly licensed illustrations, and publish their work. Translation tools support transliteration in 12 languages and dictionary help in over 100 languages. Translation work can be done offline and synced later. Stories can be downloaded as web-resolution PDFs, A4 print-ready files, or ePub files, and the Offline Library supports reading without an internet connection. Stories and illustrations use the Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license; Readalongs and videos use CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. The platform’s released code is under the MIT license, with a Rails backend and ReactJS frontend. StoryWeaver is maintained by Pratham Books, a not-for-profit children’s book publisher. Its privacy policy describes security measures including firewalls, intrusion detection software, and manual procedures, while noting that total security for information on the internet cannot be guaranteed.
