Storytime with Sarah's Little Bookshelf
Welcome to Storytime with Sarah's Little Bookshelf.
A Storytime and education podcast for families with children aged 2 to 8 Years.

After working with children for over 20 years, Sarah wanted to share her love of reading with children all around the world.
Each story or poem has been carefully written to allow children to have fun whilst learning along the way. Some episodes include age and stage follow up activities.

The Podcast is centred around 6 seasons, with new stories added regularly across all seasons.

The Bloom Buddies🐝🦋🐞
One day when searching for the sweet sugary taste of nectar, Jack the Bee notices something is wrong in the garden. The flowers are not blooming.
Jack needs to help the flowers and with the help of his friends, Lily the Butterfly and Pip the Ladybird, can they save their garden?
This is a story about friendship, teamwork, a hint of heroism and the tricky business of pollination.
The story is also followed by a few gentle suggestions on how the listeners can become a member of The Bloom Buddies themselves. Helping our pollinator friends.
The front cover features a photograph of a beautiful flower my son drew me aged 5 years. 🌸
