DjamgaMind Kids Bedtime Tales

About this app

Over 500 free narrated bedtime stories for children aged 4 to 8, celebrating Black history and the heroes of Africa, the Caribbean and the diaspora. Every story is short - about 250 words, two or three minutes read aloud - and every one of them ends somewhere calm. Because it is the last thing a child hears before sleep. NO ADS. NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED. WHAT'S INSIDE - African legends from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal, Mali and South Africa - Caribbean folktales, from Anansi the spider to Trinidad's steel pan - True lives told gently: Harriet Tubman following the North Star, Ruby Bridges walking to school at six, Rosa Parks and her quiet no, Katherine Johnson calculating a path to space - Scholars, leaders, musicians and athletes: Wangari Maathai, Thomas Sankara, Nelson Mandela, Cheikh Anta Diop, Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley, Queen Amanirenas - Prominent Black Canadians, Americans, Britons and Europeans - Gentle animal adventures and bedtime magic for the youngest listeners EVERY STORY NARRATED Tap play and listen hands-free. Narration keeps going when the screen locks, so a child can lie down in the dark and simply listen - no glowing screen at bedtime. ENGLISH AND FRENCH Most stories are available in both English and French, each narrated by a native speaker. Useful for bilingual families and French-immersion classrooms. A growing number are also offered in Swahili, Yoruba, Hausa, Zulu, Amharic, Haitian Creole and Jamaican Patois. A NIGHTLY REMINDER Pick a time and the app will nudge you each evening when it is a story. The reminder is scheduled on your device and nothing is sent over the internet. FOR PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS Each story is paired with a short four-question quiz, so it doubles as a gentle comprehension exercise. Ideal for Black History Month read alouds, world-cultures units and read-aloud time. A progress view tracks reading streaks, stories read and screen-free listening minutes. WRITTEN WITH CARE Slavery and segregation are named honestly, in plain words a small child can hold. Nothing is frightening, and every story ends somewhere calm. New stories are added regularly. DjamgaMind Kids is part of the DjamgaMind family.

A new look and a new name. - NEW: nightly story-time reminders. Pick a time and we will nudge you each evening. Scheduled on your device - nothing is sent to a server. - Narration now keeps playing when you lock the screen, with controls on the lock screen. - A brand new app icon. - Pull down to refresh, and a much better experience when the connection drops mid-story. - Fixed: the Submit a Story email link and the store links did nothing when tapped. - Faster, smoother browsing throughout.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
