Meet Story — your charming, sassy, and surprisingly knowledgeable guide to the many ways humans have found to communicate.
From the earliest forms of storytelling to the ever-changing world of modern media, humans have always looked for ways to share ideas, information, experiences, and stories with one another.
But how did we get from telling stories out loud to the enormous variety of media we use today?
Hey, I'm A Story! takes young readers on a humorous journey through the history of human communication and media, exploring the curious, creative, and sometimes surprising ways people have found to express themselves.
Along the way, children discover how the ways we communicate have changed over time — and how every new form of media gives people another way to tell stories, share ideas, connect with others, and understand the world.
