The site said: “For as long as schools are closed, we’re open. Starting today, kids everywhere can instantly stream an incredible collection of stories, including titles across 6 different languages, that will help them continue dreaming, learning, and just being kids. All stories are free to stream on your desktop, laptop, phone or tablet. Explore the collection, select a title and start listening. It’s that easy.”

Curiously, there are some works in there for the older set such as Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis.

Typically, subscriptions to the platform cost $14.95 monthly. – Rappler.com
