Journey with Story is a wonderful storytelling podcast hosted by children’s author and Scottish storyteller, Kathleen T. Pelley. Each week, Kathleen shares a new story for children ages 3-10 including retellings of fairy tales and folktales, beloved classics, nonsense poems, and a sprinkling of her own original tales, all with a distinctive Celtic flavor. Perfect for entertaining little ones as they do their chores, ride in the car, wait in line, or to lull them off to sleep. It also offers an educational alternative to screen time, improves listening skills, expands vocabulary, fosters empathy, and nurtures creativity.

“This podcast is wonderful for traveling or for snuggling in bed with a parent or grandparent.”
“I would recommend this podcast for parents and teachers. Teachers can have this as a resource to help children relax at naptime (preschool) or for a quiet time in school (Kindergarten through 3rd grade).”
“I love listening to this storyteller tell a story; kids can use their imagination as they listen. And her voice is relaxing- great for naptime reading!”
