Simply Angie Hey friend, If you’ve been hanging around this corner of the internet for a while, you might remember me announcing a big dream of mine a while back: taking the daily stories I was sharing here on my other Substack and building a real, dedicated platform for them. Substack is a wonderful place for adults, but I really wanted a safe, beautiful space designed purely for children. Well... I actually did it! After a year of wrestling with tech and pouring my heart into it, the real Storybook Hut app is officially open.
Some of you know I’ve spent over 40 years as a teacher. One of the things I think about a lot ~ and honestly worry about ~ is what screen time is doing to young children's development. The research is real, and I see the effects firsthand. So I built an app that is the exact opposite: a curated library of audio picture books with wholesome stories, static illustrations, and gentle narration. No animation, no chaos or flashing lights—just quiet, imaginative content that helps little minds grow. (Parents can even mute the audio and use it as a portable library to read aloud themselves). If you have young children ~ or grandchildren, nieces, nephews, kids in your church or community ~ I think you’d love it. To celebrate finally crossing the finish line, I wanted to do something special for my Substack friends… Annual access is $97, and if you join us during this launch week (by midnight this Sunday, June 14th), I’m throwing in my ebook How to Tame Temper Tantrums Without Throwing One Yourself as a free thank-you gift. 👉 storybookhut.com Thank you for encouraging me in this dream, and for always being such a warm, supportive little spot on the internet. Back to our regularly scheduled programming next week! 😊 Blessings, Talk to you again soon. Can’t wait?
