From telling to listening
Turn a child's ideas into a storybook they can hear.
Budding prepares narration for the cover and pages of a finished story so families can move between looking, reading, and listening.
Narration belongs to the book
The listening experience is attached to the current cover and page state. When a page changes, Budding prepares narration for the new version rather than reading stale text from the old picture.
Listen to a page or the whole story
Families can hear the visible page and move through the reader at their own pace. Character and narrator turns are kept separate so the result feels like a story performance instead of a flat block of text.
Built for rereading together
Narration can support a child who wants to revisit the story before they can comfortably read every word alone. It can also turn the finished book into a shared family listening moment.
