The Palace of Stories

We love your stories, and listen to them in place of other media. My children love the stories so much, and are excited for their storytime everyday! Thank you.”

How the Dragon Remembered His Fire
Dear Leo,
Like the boy in the story, in return for a small ‘donation’, you secretly fill our pockets with unimaginable treasure. That’s the only way I can describe how I feel after finally subscribing to your stories. What an amazing gift. God bless you!"

Greetings from Costa Rica. My son Héctor, my wife Shirley and I love your stories!!!! Just now during lunch, I showed my family your beautiful family picture, you should have seen their faces (it's nice to know the face behind the story). Héctor is seven, and struggled for a while to answer your question as to what his favorite story is. He likes them all very much but here is his list: 1. The Pictures That Came to Life 2. Letters From God 3. The Handkerchief's Story (there are several in this level)."

My daughter and I have become enchanted by your stories. The sound of your voice, the tempo of the words, the use of music and other sounds, thoroughly transports us both into another realm. It is almost like magic! And it has also helped my own storytelling skills. You have a wonderful style - I can sense my daughter become drawn in and focused as soon as she hears your voice. Thank you Leo."

I love your stories. I was directed to your site by a Facebook 'friend' last year and have thankfully picked up your monthly free story since, thanks.”

Message From The Sun
Palace of Stories is famous in our house! I just completed RN school and I work in the emergency department in Montana, USA. Many nights, when I was too tired to tell an original story, you, Leo, saved the bedtime! In fact,I was so inspired by "Message From the Sun" last night, that I got up and squeezed all three kids again, in the dark..."

I like this story. Especially the trombone-playing spiders, and to see how the theme of longing and searching can be unfolded in a story of just five minutes.”

We have subscribed to your storytelling website and the kids have been really enjoying the stories. You have actually become our virtual babysitter at times."

A Strong Man
I love this story, as a retired teacher my path has crossed the path of many children who have these same fears. I can still see their little faces and feel their fears and wish that they had a Strong Man to comfort and protect them. I love to tell stories and since I’ve retired I have become the resident story teller for the kindergarten children in my school. I would love to tell this story to them. Maybe through this story I can touch the soul of a child who is enduring these fears and reassure them that they are special and that there are people out there that do love and care for them."

The Magic Tin
My son – 7 – wept when he listened to this. He was so touched, sad, sympathy, empathy. i wept at seeing his heart open so much by your words. again – thanks!"
