Frequently asked questions
At Stories for your Ears, our journey began with a simple idea: to bring back the joy of listening and imagination in a screen-filled world. As a San Francisco-based audio production company, we pride ourselves on the careful adaptation of public-domain children's classics, ensuring each story is gentle, family-safe, and deeply engaging. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, committed to making a positive impact on children's development.
What inspired this project?
I noticed how often children are surrounded by screens, and how rarely they’re encouraged simply to listen and imagine. These stories were written to be heard, and I wanted to bring that experience back in a way that suits today’s families.
Why adapt classic stories instead of writing new ones?
Public-domain classics carry a depth and narrative rhythm that’s timeless. My role isn’t to replace them — it’s to remove barriers so children today can access them comfortably.
How do your interactive read-along editions work?
Our interactive editions combine professional narration with on-screen text, allowing children to follow along at their own pace. This supports early literacy and makes shared reading a delightful experience for the whole family.
Are your stories screen-free?
While our stories are designed to be primarily listened to, encouraging imagination without visual distractions, our interactive read-along editions do feature on-screen text. However, the focus remains on audio engagement and mindful screen use.
What makes your adaptations different?
Care. Each story is reviewed line by line to ensure it’s gentle, family-safe, and engaging without losing its original spirit.
What do you hope children gain from listening?
Listening builds imagination. When children picture the story themselves, they engage more deeply and develop stronger language and comprehension skills.
How can I access my purchased stories?
Once purchased, your stories are immediately available for streaming or download via your account on our website. You can listen on any device, anytime, anywhere!
Where is Stories for your Ears based?
We are proudly based anywhere in the World where Children and Families gather together to enjoy listen and imagine, with our unique interactive audio flipbook adaptations without the need for fast moving screens.
