Stories Are Us - Audio Stories for Kids

Having won the 2012 Interactive Media Awards for ‘Outstanding Achievement’ in the Kids Section, and spurred on by the hype and interest generated by the media, the developers of the website set about to create an App designed to inspire and entertain a generation. Now it is here: the Stories Are Us App for iPhone & tablets!

This prestigious award was judged by a panel of peers including: American Express, Cadbury Schweppes, Conde Nest Publications, Microsoft, Ogillvy & Mather, and Verizon Business, to name but a few.

"Aunty Bs" enchanting, fun and educational stories are designed to help parents engage with their children in the joy of storytelling. They will occupy kids for many productive hours. The audio stories are told in a humorous; lighthearted yet an enjoyable manner.

Uniquely, many stories have been produced with three different accents: African, British, and Caribbean. Furthermore, the audio stories have been categorised into easy to follow sections: Animals, Biblical, Fables, Fairy Tales and Historical stories.

The Stories Are Us App enables users to share and discuss their experiences of listening to these exciting, intriguing and sometimes heart stopping audio stories for kids, using two of the most prominent social media outlets: Face book and Twitter.

The Stories Are Us website was not only nominated for the prestigious Samsung Awards 2013, but the website was also named amongst the 8 finalists.

The timing is therefore perfect for the release of our much anticipated App. And already in April 2013 the Stories Are Us App has been featured on BestAppsForKids.com, which will only serve to increase the growing buzz about this innovative tool for all children, including the visually impaired!

Happy listening!!!
