Telling stories together has always been a great way for grownups to play with their children. We know that telling stories and talking about stories helps develop children's language skills. Storybird is a brand-new online experience that gives parents, grandparents, caregivers a fun way to tell stories with their children--whether they live together or are thousands of miles apart!
In Storybird, you can start by choosing images contributed by phenomenal artists, then type your story and drag pictures right onto your blank pages. You can save your stories and send an email to a friend inviting them to help you tell the next part of the story themselves. Read more about how it works.
It's free to make Storybirds! Wouldn't it be fun to have a Storybird program at a library?

I am always hearing from Grandparents that they want to be more involved with their grandchildren, but distance is a huge problem. Here's a great way for them to share a story. thanks Melissa for sharing the site. Carol

What a cool site! I'm going to feature it on my library early literacy newsletter. --Mary K
