(Half a) Story Hour 📻
Half an hour of stories for kids – and “kids” of all ages! 📖✨
About (Half a) Story Hour
(Half a) Story Hour is written, produced and presented by Inari, a teacher and story nerd, and airs first on CFCR 90.5 FM.
Her actual aunt was a “fairy tale aunt,” a satutäti, who wrote, told and drew stories for kids in Finland - sometimes live on TV. Stories are made to be shared!
“In each episode, we’ll read, tell and talk about stories together, with a musical ‘interlude’ in the middle to give our brains a break - and explore stories told through music.” 🎶
