    Heyyyyy Stoopkid Crew! Welcome back to Season 9 Episode 3!
    So glad to be back on the stoop with another story as we start the school year off with good energy and smiling faces!

    Thank you to the Stoopkid Crew members who came to The National Harbor to visit me! This memory will forever be sketched in my mind! I love you all!

    In this episode, we dive into the exciting and challenging world of Byron and Brea, as they start their first school year in separate classes. For the first time in school, the inseparable duo must navigate time apart—new friends, different schedules, and unexpected surprises. Remember in season 2 when Byron went to summer camp without Brea? Now they have to go through the entire school day without each other.

  • Stoopkid Stories x Dorktales Storytime Mashup
    May 31 2024

    Stoopkid Crew! Happy Almost Summer!

    Another bonus episode is here! This time I collabed with Dorktales Storytime Podcast! I had such a fun time playing "Rapunzel" on this episode called: Rapunzel, Rapunzel Let Down Your Science Experiment?

    Question everything!” That’s Rapunzel’s motto. The princess from Mythdom breaks all fairy tale stereotypes when she tells the story that her time in the tower was for scientific innovation and experimentation. Her patented, three-step, hair strengthening system could win her a STEM scholarship! Can she shimmy down the tower’s trellis and make her way through the peat bog path to get to the science fair in time?

    If you enjoyed this episode please give Dorktales Storytime some love on their feed and join their podsquad.

    StoopGrownups, if you would like to tell me what you and your family are up to this summer, give me a shout at melly@stoopkidstories.com
