The ones who care about kids and love a good story
Why stories matter

Early exposure to stories significantly impacts a child’s cognitive development and literacy skills. However, many children don’t have a person who is available or able to read to them daily, and some households may lack easy access to books and literacy development opportunities.

Audio stories Benefit of audio stories

Listening to stories helps to spark kids’ imaginations while boosting their language and literacy skills.

The audible-only platform supports screen-free listening, minimizing visual distractions and on-screen prompts, helping children to develop their listening skills.

Because favorites are worth keeping
Stories for keeps

We want everyone to have access to good stories, so even if you unsubscribe, you get to keep all the stories you’ve collected.

Why we have stories in English & Spanish

Early exposure to a second language helps children learn it later in life. That’s why we offer fun, easy-to-listen-to stories that improve language skills.

Hearing different sounds and words boosts children’s ability to recognize and imitate them. We also want to help our native English speakers learning Spanish, and vice versa.

More than just stories

Stories do more than entertain – they help children understand themselves and others. Our multicultural collection encourages empathy, imagination, and curiosity.

By listening to voices from around the world, kids begin to appreciate different cultures, values, and experiences.

Every story is crafted by real people!

We don’t believe in storytelling via AI. Our stories come from real people based on real experiences and human imaginations. Our translations and adaptations are done by human professionals.

My daughter and I love using this app! She enjoys picking the stories she wants to hear, and we listen together during her quiet time. The app design is lovely, easy to use, and the stories are well organized into categories. Honestly, she could listen for hours!
