Suddenly all the lights and screens turn off at once.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sometimes, blink, the power goes out. Lights off. Screens dark. The refrigerator hum stops.
2. A house without power sounds different. Quieter, but in a strange way. At night, it gets very dark.
Sudden silence where the hum was, dark rooms, flashlight beams.
3. I might wonder what happened.
Why did the power go out?
A storm or wind knocked down a power line.
The power company is fixing something.
Too many houses used lots of power at once.
We do not have enough information to know.
💡 A power cut has an outside cause. Nothing in our house is broken, and workers are usually already fixing it.
4. Our family has power-out moves.

5. A power-out evening can turn cozy. Blanket forts. Flashlight stories. The house feeling like a campout.
6. The power almost always comes back within hours. The lights blink on, the refrigerator hums awake, and everyone cheers. The house goes back to normal, but the flashlight fort was ours.
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
