Welcome to Storypillar, a podcast for kids, ages 5-8, developed by Meg Lewis, a proud multi-racial, multi-cultural former teacher and current writer and illustrator.
​
Together with Sneak, Bean, Sparky, and Meg, we'll…
-
Tackle sticky social situations and tough feelings.
-
Pick up solid, usable advice from real, live kids!
-
Explore our world’s amazing countries, cultures, and creatures.
-
Hear some fantasterrific stories and giggle our faces off!
​​
Why???​
​​
Kids need diverse stories! And social-emotional coping skills they can actually use in real life! Storypillar’s cheeky characters and engaging stories make learning about different perspectives and navigating ALL the big feelings--even the unpleasant ones--a little less overwhelming and a lot more manageable.
​
What's with the Name?
Sneak, one of the co-hosts, is a caterpillar who loves stories.
It’s also drawn from the parallel between caterpillars, stories, and kids: they all start off small, then grow and change into something new and incredible!

How Does it Work?
We publish episodes on the first three Mondays of every month:
1) A Sneak Attack!!! Mini-episode on the first Monday:
Sneak shares interesting facts about the country or culture of the month.
2) A Full Episode on the second Monday: We check in to see what sticky social situation we're tackling and “blast off” to our country of the month for a story. Then, a listener shares their "Unstick Trick" advice for managing our sticky situation.

3) A Brain Break Mini-episode on the third Monday: Bean plays chill music and tells a silly story featuring our sticky situation of the month that helps kids check in with and take care of their feelings.
And on the extra long months, we'll drop a Sparky Shorts! These are our bonus mini-episodes featuring Sneak’s pet giant chicken, Sparky. She'll choose her two favorite things from the month’s episodes and use them to tell a silly story.
Why Should My Kids (and I) Listen?

-
Need a space to process feelings and questions that arise as they learn, grow, and interact with the people around them.

Yearn to feel confident and capable in tricky social situations.
