Stories from all over the world with amazing musical accompaniment. My girls have loved listening for years! They are aging out of interest now, so it was about time to unfollow anyway, but the recent request for donations was tinged with political overtones I don’t care for and that decided me. Best to stand on your own merits when requesting funds.
