Parents, let's reach out by setting up a remote storytime between you, your child, and an isolated senior. We partner primarily with nursing homes to find trustworthy, warm readers, and it's an amazing connecting experience.

While we've all been isolated, my grandparents have started to read stories to my younger cousins via videochat, which has been a great way for my grandparents to feel connected and loved. It's also nice for my cousins (4-7 years old) to interact with their grandparents, even if from afar. Many of our seniors are especially isolated right now, so I thought it would be nice to connect them to kids all across the US for a remote storytime. We've started talking with various nursing homes and linking them up with young families to get a regular remote interaction going. Would love to hear your feedback!

Great idea :) love products tackling inter generational connectivity + loneliness. Could also be reversed! I'm sure there are some isolated seniors that would love to be read to by younger folks 🥺.

Great Idea - Would be awesome to see implementation of a digital book & library so both parties could read along together. Promoting reading comprehension and assisting in keeping the attention of kids with pictures to follow-along when applicable.

I have a website for kids books called MagicBlox.com. Let me know if we should talk about reading from our library.

Thanks everyone for voting for us in the Maker Festival, we are so honored and excited!! We're quickly building out the platform (adding more timeslots to schedule stories, the ability to add favorite books, and automating much of the scheduling), so big updates are coming. A reminder that anyone at any age is welcome to sign up, and please share with any isolated seniors that you know :) Thanks again!
