Mr. James’ voice is hypnotic and soothing to the most frantic souls. As a literature major these stories are ambrosia. Thank you for sharing your gift.

My kids LOVE Aaron

I started playing these stories for my kids as bedtime stories and I fairly quickly exhausted the list of the stories. My kids find Aaron’s voice soothing, and they keep telling me to check for new episodes. If given a choice they will have me repeat a story instead of something else. Aarons voice is so calming that my kids snuggle into bed fairly easily. THANK YOU!
