    The soundtrack of an epic childhood
    Our FAVORITE bedtime stories. Diverse characters, strong female leads, empowering messages and FUN stories. The stories our little world changers wanna hear + messages we mom love to play.

    The Best!
    My little champs can't get enough of the stories you create! They love tuning in before bed and on our car rides. As a mother, I can't thank you enough for making their evenings so magical. Your stories have become a nightly tradition for my 6 and 8-year-olds and I couldn't be happier!

  • Sarah marian
    So sweet and refreshing
    Love listening with my kids!
  • GopikaT
    A must for kids
    My girls loved listening to these stories! They finished the entire series in 2 days and can’t wait to hear more! I loved the twists to fairy tales I grew up reading. And can’t wait to hear what they will bring next :)
  • OQ
    The messages we want to send our little girls
    Most fairy tales and even old Disney are so cringeworthy, I can’t expose my daughters to them, but these episodes bring all the fun of the fairytales with a modern message you’d actually want your kids to hear - amazing!
  • Diane Aboushi
    Love it.
    My kids, especially my daughter, just love these stories. Entertaining and each has a good lesson.
  • Mohsen Ash
    Love this!!
    What a wonderful way to enjoy classic stories with a fresh take! My 6 year old niece loves this!! Looking forward to more soon!
  • heena_NYC
    fairy tales that don’t make me cringe
    Miral and the team are inspiring and shaping a generation of young minds with positive female role models. My daughter loves that princesses need to be smart and love to read!
  • Podcast Junkie Bklyn
    Perfect podcast for my little ones!
    My whole family and I love these stories. They’re a staple for us in the car or while hanging out at home as an alternative to screens. They’re the perfect length and the content makes me so proud since so much of stuff for kids is antiquated. The production quality is fantastic too! My toddler daughter always requests these and I have to admit I get so excited when I see another one on my feed. More please!
  • Franzi Fortlouis
    A refreshing stance on fairy tales
    Absolute some thumbs up for this amazing way of displaying fairytale stories in a modern way. We absolutely love it and I think it’s important to teach our kids the damsels in distress do not need to be rescued by a prince. Can highly recommend!!
  • nqa0
    No more damsels in distress for my boys!
    My sons adore these stories, especially The Three Little Pigs. I love that they allow my boys to enjoy these classic tales in an authentic way but with a modern angle that doesn’t relegate the princesses to helpless damsels that need men to save them!
  • SPKeh
    LOVE!
    I love these, my kids love these, what a gift for families!! <3
  • RN10075
    So glad I found these!!
    Thrilled to share these thoughtfully reimagined fairy tales with my daughter. Damsels-in-distress no more!
  • Jedisl
    Once upon a time… Without the stereotypes! Truly Brilliant!
    I never read the classic fairytales to my children as there are so many stereotypes and incorrect messages that are imbedded in them. This collection of reimagined classic fairytales are just brilliant! I can safely let my children listen to these without worrying about the messages that they will imply. Really well done! Can’t wait for more ❤️
  • Lauren3312
    Daughter loves these!
    My daughter loves these stories! She went from “What’s a podcast?” to asking to listen over and over. She loves the princesses and I love the emphasis on books, reading, and female empowerment. Win-win.
  • NikiD Livingston
    Love this new Red Riding Hood!
    The modern retelling is excellent and relevant in today's world for any young children to listen to. Beautifully produced and executed. Brilliant to reinterpret this classic stories many of us grew up with. Highly recommend!
  • Sib001
    Love these
    We love listening to these stories including my 3 year old and even my 1 year old! Thank you!
  • MCMLLMAAM
    A “must-listen” for kids
    My 4 year old’s ride to school is about an hour every morning and he loves, loves, loves these podcasts, often asking to listen to the stories more than once. I love that he stays entertained and uses his imagination (and not a screen!). The stories are terrific!
  • abrams_sj_716
    New bedtime listening favorite!
    Love the positive empowering messages for girls and boys! Perfect length for too.
  • JoAn Monaco
    Great Family Activity!
    I recently listened to the modern retell of Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel….they are fabulously done…finally an update on an old classic that now makes sense for a modern age…these are great for car trips and when getting ready for bedtime. Perfect for very little kids all the way up to teens. I love them! These are brilliantly told!
  • mirzan76
    Creative!
    My 5 year old loves the stories and has so many great questions after listening. Love this idea and the retellings!
  • KengoryNYC
    Family Favorite
    My three children love listening to these stories while they get ready for bed… and I love the messages and morals. We can’t wait for more of these modern tales!
  • HananNYC
    Much needed retake on classic fairytales
    My children and I have loved listening to these reimagined classics together. No longer is the female character in need of saving by the male protagonist. She is the heroine of her own story, as she should have been all along.
  • lheff
    Girls are hero’s too
    I love that perspective. Girl uses brain instead of girl as victim. Excellent retelling
  • snaplina
    Brilliant
    My children were never been exposed to traditional fairytales until they were old enough to have critical discussions around the issues that come up in those stories, particularly around female roles. Each story is so beautifully revised. The narrations are very well done. My kids really enjoyed them.

    Engaging
    They’re very engaging, easy to listen to and kept my daughter engaged enough to get her off Disney+. Part of our new bedtime routine!
  • inspectorsaab
    Great Stories
    I have two daughters and these stories are great! Young girls need to listen to stories about strong females. Thank you!
  • Ayesha221
    So fun to listen to!
    Love listening to the stories with my daughters but also make a point to listen with my son. They are perfect for car rides, esp.

    Great retelling of a classic story. Thank you!
  • natashakkazi1111
    Love these fairytale retellings
    I loved fairytales, until I had kids, and then I thought these are some dark and often problematic stories for a 3 year old. Thank goodness for this podcast, and fairytale retellings. We kids love Bearily Bear!
  • irg1641
    Best classic stories for little kids with a modern twist!
    My 8-year old daughter and 3-year old son love these stories! They are fun, smart, interesting, and they help my children to relax unwind after a busy day. They can just sit back, listen and enjoy. I highly recommend them!!
  • S29645
    Entertaining for preschoolers
    My 4 year son enjoyed the stories and it was fun to hear him question how these stories differ from the original versions.
  • Harue 38
    Perfect for cad rides
    I found it challenging to keep kids away from digital devices during medium-long distance car rides. However, this podcast made it so much easier! I just play it and my kids (3-9yr old) enjoys listening the stories! Very entertaining to adults as well. :)
  • Shannon7574
    Love these!
    My nieces and nephews are so engaged in these stories. Highly recommend!
