Thank you for bringing your collective talents together to bring peace, happiness and joy for children and adults alike… Thank you and kindest regards, One Very Grateful Mom!

Listening to Alan creates pictures in my daughter’s mind and strengthens her word comprehension effortlessly, and in record time.  You do not dumb the stories down – vocabulary building is a byproduct of all the stories you produce.

Here’s to looking at the stars at night and the moon out your window, listening to a simple tale, falling asleep with crickets and letting your imagination soar with a hope for a better day and happy tomorrow! 

Alan’s email reply to her letter just made my daughter, Rianna’s day. She has been beaming with an ear-to-ear smile all day! So has her mom 🙂 Rianna says ‘Thank You Alan for writing to me.’ I intend to make a printout of his note to her and paste it on the fridge to remind all of us to believe in the power of dreams.  Thank you Alan for writing to Rianna. She knows most of your stories word to word. I think you may have just earned your biggest fan ever!

Keep on spreading the magic. 

Every night for the past one year my daughter has been listening to the wonderful stories told by Alan Scofield. Even when she’s super tired she needs it even more. So imagine my surprise when last night she tells me she wants to be Alan.  I asked Alan who? She said “Alan the storyteller”. I want to be a storyteller like him. I said, you are already a marvelous storyteller because you use your imagination to weave stories.  I just thought of sharing her sweet request with you. Did I mention she’s just turned 6! Just goes on to show how many young hearts and minds your stories are touching, Thanks!

I’ve found a lifesaver of a website. This is my best find in months! The Story Home’ stories really do delight and inspire. This is my best find in months! Sometimes I feel like I’ve read every story book in the house to my children 5 times over and now I have something new to captivate them. So I’m very excited about The Story Home.

 … Little Jacky is nodding off to sleep now after listening to your telling of the Velveteen Rabbit. I use your stories as a treat for both Jacky and I. After a long day at work, dinner and the evening routine of getting Jacky to bed, it is so nice for Rachel or me to relax with our son and one of your stories. Tonight after Alan finished his Mister Rodgers style, soothing story telling: Jacky, after a huge yawn, asked me “Was it true. Do toys really become real?” I thought for a moment and continuing the story’s tone said in a hushed whisper “I’m not sure, but if it does, it is very rare. And then only if the boy really, really loves the toy! Then maybe it does happen.” He looked at me a minute and asked if he could sleep with “Mopsy” tonight. I fished the old stuffed dog out of the toy box and tucked it in with Jacky. Thanks to The Story Home, this one was special night.

Thanks for being “that soothing Dad voice” that my daughter needs… because a year ago he was taken from her. 

You remind me of Jim Henson from TV. I remember being at boring places, like shopping with my mother, and I would think of his stories. You have the same endearing qualities that he did. Especially in your intro and exit statements, they are so welcoming that it opens the heart. So even though I am grown now, I think you will have the place with many children as my first Storyteller had with me because you have those qualities.

You have quite a gentle loving voice, that I feel you are my friend. So I thought that I would say “hello.”
