They might just need a good story these days. Big People: if you happen to have an Apple device, leave a review in Apple Podcasts!

If your tiny person wants to share a story they've written, please send photos or recordings of it to rhea@littlestoriestinypeople.com. I'd LOVE to see their artwork, stories, and anything else they'd like to share.
