Free and Original Kids Stories

About

"We believe that minds can grow by reading them a tale. 
You shouldn't have to sit and wait for them to go on sale
Readers are an honor. Worth the effort. Worth the time.
This site is made for you, with every word and every rhyme."

Founded in 2008, freechildrenstories.com operates on the simple principle that
children's development is paramount. Our mission is to offer 
meaningful storytelling to each reader around the globe,
with access to the internet, for free.

 

A former mechanical engineer, Daniel Errico left his career at an investment bank to create freechildrenstories.com. In the years since, he has produced multiple number one best-selling children's ebooks with B & N and has books in stores nationwide through Sky Pony Press, Schiffer Publishing and Magination Press. His works have been made into books, best-selling ebooks, animated films, apps, and even plays. He is also the creator of the award-winning Hulu Original Series, The Bravest Knight, based on his book The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived. His other traditionally published titles include The Journey of the Noble Gnarble, The Journey of the Marmabill, and Don’t Hug the Quokka (2023 CBC Children’s Favorites Award and Teacher Favorites Award).

Throughout, his stories have been available online to encourage literacy and free media for kids.
