Read-Along: The Garden of Broken Things

READ-ALONG WITH STORYBOX!

We're excited to share with you that StoryBox is introducing something special—our Read-Along version of The Garden of Broken Things.

With the Read-Along version, kids can follow the story both with their eyes and their ears. As they listen to the fun narration, they’ll also see the words appear on screen in a simplified way, helping them connect spoken words to text. N.B. the read-along captions will appear for the book section of the video only.

One day, curious Sadie follows a cat into the tangled vines behind the lonely house at Number 9, Ardent Street.

Deep in the undergrowth, past all the twisted, rusted things, Sadie finds the cat sitting on the lap of a woman, bent with time and weariness.

Sadie has found the Garden of Broken Things.

From award-winning creator Freya Blackwood comes a beautifully tender story about curiosity and the joy of listening. Read by Tab Sejoe.
