Little Stories for Tiny People: Anytime and bedtime stories for kids

Mr. Beetle has decided to host a weekly storytime for young bugs (aided by his friend Gwen, who has agreed to operate the music player in an effort to provide the perfect soundtrack). Hosting a live storytime turns out to be slightly more complicated than Mr. Beetle imagined. How will his story end? Will it make any sense at all? And how will the young bugs (and the one terrifying mouse) respond to it? Is Mr. Beetle destined to become a legendary storyteller? You'll just have to listen and find out. If you love this story, please share it with all elder beetles who are still following their dreams, any mice who cannot eat bugs due to a severe allergy, all opiniated bugs, and your friends. They might just need a good story these days. Big People: if you happen to have an Apple device, leave a review in Apple Podcasts!

Kip, a squirrel who lives in the forest, discovers that human people go for walks for no particular reason at all. They aren't collecting food or gathering materials for their big metallic birds. One day, Kip decides to go for his own "just because" walk. And when he does, he learns something he won't soon forget.

Comparison...we all do it. Except me. I never compare myself to other people. Okay, fine. I do it too. But I'm trying not to!
