Why Parents Love Sparkle

  • Stories For All Occasions

    Search by child’s age or story topic; choose one-off short stories, longer tales, or ongoing series.

  • Perfect For Their Age & Stage

    We craft stories for a child’s age and developmental stage, providing strengths-based opportunities to engage their sense of curiosity, play, and joy.

  • Child-Friendly Narration

    Stories are recorded more slowly for young ears, ensuring maximum comprehension and enjoyment.

  • Enrichment, Not Overstimulation

    Audio-only stories spur children to use their imaginations and grow their curiosity, compared to screen-based entertainment.

  • Wholesome, Kindness-Centered Entertainment

    All Sparkle Stories promote values like kindness, empathy, and respect to help build a gentler world.

  • Reduces Screen Time

    Benefits of reduced screen time are well documented, but the transition isn’t always easy! Open our library of over 1500 original audio stories and keep kids engaged!

  • Early Reading Support

    Kids build imaginal capacities and expand their vocabulary, both essential for success in reading.

  • Go Beyond The Story

    Pair audio stories with associated recipes, crafts and games for family bonding experiences.
