STORYTIME FRIENDS brings the joy and power of storytelling to children in hospitals through weekly video-recorded read-alouds, in-person author/illustrator visits, and picture book give-aways. We believe in having fun and creating a sense of friendship and community through books. We support upholding the emotional safety of patients by treating the whole person by helping to reduce stress and lift spirits.

Buy books to read with your little ones, donate to Storytime Friends, or gift to others from the Bay Area authors' & illustrators' whose work will be featured for our inaugural year (2022-2023). Thank you for your support in helping us to bring joy and books to children receiving care in hospitals! To send a donated book, please email [email protected]
