Personalized audio stories with a different name, free previews, read-along mode, and story ideas made just for your family. Perfect for families with multiple kids.
Once Upon A Me is an audio storybook app where you record your child's name once, and they hear it again and again, in story after story. They become the hero of every tale. Have more than one kid? Record a different name for each story — every sibling gets to be the star.

Every story includes a free preview, so families can listen before unlocking the full library.
