never miss an adventure


Free
Forever

Every adventure has the same shape — a story, a printable, and an invitation to write back.


How the library works

Read the story

800 to 1,200 words in Poppy's voice. Read it together. Or have your older child read it alone. Each one takes about 10 minutes.







01

Print the activity

Every adventure comes with one free download — a coloring page, a craft, a drawing prompt, or a letter starter. All connected to the story.








02

Talk about it

Every story ends with a few questions in Poppy's voice — one set for big kids, one set for Minis. Real questions. The kind worth answering out loud.









03

Every month Poppy goes on a new adventure and writes a letter back about everything she discovered. MailDay matches your child with a real pen pal their age and sends them everything they need to write — and receive — a real letter.



Real letters. Real friends. No screens.

Ages 3–12. Cancel any time. Pen pal matched within 5–7 days.

Join MailDay — $12/month

Want Poppy to write to your child every month?

Poppy believes every child deserves a mailbox. Not every family can afford one. For $10 you can sponsor a PO Box for a child who can't — giving them their first key, their first address, and their first place where real letters arrive just for them.
