What is Stories by Children?

At Stories by Children, we celebrate the creativity of young minds by publishing and sharing original stories written by kids aged 5–16. From talking animals to time-traveling superheroes, these stories capture the magic of childhood imagination.

Our mission? To give every child a voice, and every reader a reason to smile.
