Ask a Story: Kids Submit Topics for Next Week

Ask a Story kids submit topics is a weekly invite from Storypie. Each week we ask families to send one simple idea. Children name something they are curious about. Parents tap the app or visit Storypie app to submit. Also, we track entries with the hashtag #AskAStory so the community can watch ideas grow. In fact, 52% of children expressed a desire for books that make them laugh in 2023, highlighting how humor can spark curiosity and ideas.

How Ask a Story kids submit topics works

Each Monday we open a fresh pool of suggestions. Then editors review entries for clarity and fit. Next, we pick one idea and shape it into a short episode. Typical cadence is weekly. Send ideas early in the week for the best chance at next week.

What to submit

Keep it tiny and joyful. One sentence is perfect. Try these starters at mealtime:

  • What animal would live in a moon garden?
  • Why do shadows sometimes hide?
  • How do seeds remember to grow?

Also, a tiny doodle counts. Parents can jot a sentence or snap a quick note. Then submit through the Storypie app. Remember, approximately 40% of children aged 6–17 report having difficulty finding books they like, so thoughtful submissions can help create relatable content.

Selection, timeline, and contact

Editors at Storypie review submissions for suitability. We screen for clarity and safety. Because production moves fast, not every idea is chosen. If your child’s idea is selected, Storypie will contact the submitting parent with details. Expect a quick production schedule and friendly next steps.

A short parental checklist

  • Capture one sentence or a tiny doodle.
  • Use the Storypie app to submit.
  • Expect moderation and review for safety.
  • Confirm parental consent if asked before publication.

Safety and privacy

Storypie uses moderation and parental verification to protect children. We handle names, images, and personal details with care. If an idea is published, Storypie follows our privacy and consent practices. For details visit Storypie privacy practices. This keeps sharing safe and simple.

What to expect next week

Ideas sent this week enter the weekly pool. The team curates entries and shapes one into audio and images. Then the chosen story appears the following week. It is quick, delightful, and honors the child’s spark. Notably, 46% of U.S. children ages 6–12 have listened to a podcast, showing a growing interest in audio storytelling that can inspire future submissions.

Small ritual, big return

Ask one question at lunchtime. Capture a sentence. Send it off. The goal is simple: make children feel seen and teach that curiosity matters. With 68% of parents of monthly podcast listeners saying their children listen with at least one parent, this practice can also strengthen family connections. Try it this week and watch a tiny idea become an episode your child can point to with pride.
