New Story Extravaganza!

BY STORYBOX HUB


What an extravaganza of new stories we've got waiting for you on StoryBox Hub

There’s the delightful Bowerbird Blues, written and illustrated by the talented Aura Parker and performed by the wonderful Megan Daley. This playful story of a bowerbird searching for connection and a place to belong is sure to capture the imagination!

 

Time, that precious resource that we’d all love more of! Kelly Canby’s latest release, Timeless, follows the journey of Emit, who tries everything to get more time. This charming story is read by Peter Houghton, and one that you won’t want to miss. 

 

We’d also like to invite you on an onomatapoeic romp with Phonobet. A hilarious exploration of sound, this gorgeous story is written by the talented Kathy Weeden, illustrated by Kim Drane, and read by Peter Houghton.

 

The Concrete Garden is a wonderful story about connecting with the world around us. The newest release written and illustrated by master storyteller Bob Graham, and performed by Jenae Tien, this heartwarming tale explores the power of optimism and community friendships.

 

Every Night at Midnight, Felix turns into a wolf! This whimsical story explores the unexpected places friendship can be found. Written and illustrated by the talented Peter Cheong, and read by Chris Alosio, you’ll want to watch this one for sure!

 

Raised by Moths is, we think, unlike any story you’ve read! It’s a fantastical, wonderful narrative about a boy raised by moths. Written by Charlie Archbold, illustrated by Michelle Conn and performed by Kuda Mapeza, we can’t wait for you to read it. 

 

 

We hope you enjoy all the gorgeous new additions to the StoryBox Hub collection!
