Beantown Pals Audiobooks Fundraiser

150 Beantown Pals Audio Stories

Recorded on 15 sixty-minute albums and ready to be published to Audible, Barnes and Noble, and numerous other online audiobook stores. To achieve this, we are inviting companies, foundations, and individuals to pay it forward by contributing charitable donations to an outstanding 501c3 nonprofit organization—Imagination Storybooks—a group dedicated to providing online accessible books to visually and hearing impaired children worldwide.

Imagination Storybooks makes children's picture books accessible by adding audio description (AD) of the pictures for blind children and sign language for deaf children in audiobook and video formats.

“Laughter is the best medicine...”

With overwhelming evidence that excessive screen time is harmful to children’s health, listening to audiobooks provides a perfect alternative. Studies prove that listening to stories contributes to child brain development. Kids who listen have better language skills, vocabularies, and imaginations. Families who listen together benefit with increased family time and shared experiences. The addition of comedy and laughs adds additional benefits of ‘stickiness’ and engagement. Kids want to listen

when they are having fun. Parents remark how their children request our Beantown Pals stories while driving or before bedtime.

Comedians Tammy Pooler and Tom Hayes have combined their writing and voice over acting skills to create a series of hysterical fairytale based stories featuring Beantown’s wacky duo, Bucky and Betty. Think Lucy and Desi, Wilma and Fred, and Kermit and Miss Piggy and you have "Beantown Pals, the adventures of Bucky and Betty."
