Emilia's Storybooks makes gentle animated storybooks for children aged 2 to 5: rhyming read-alouds starring Emilia, a curious little girl with big curly pigtails, and Pip, her stuffed bunny. The stories are free on YouTube; this website adds the story text, tips for you, free coloring pages and simple games.
Our promise
- No ads on this website, and nothing for sale.
- Nothing collected. No accounts, no cookies, no tracking, no analytics scripts, no forms. Games keep their settings on your own device. Read the privacy policy.
- A grown-up check stands in front of every link that leaves the site and in front of this page, so little hands stay in the kids' area. It asks a sum written in words and a three-second press.
- Videos load only when you tap play, in YouTube's privacy-enhanced player. Every video is set as “made for kids” on YouTube.
How to use the site with your child
The home page has three big picture buttons, so no reading is needed: Watch (every story), Play (tap games) and Color (print or color on screen). The house button always goes home; in the games, the speaker button turns the sound off. Each story's page has the whole story to read along, the words it teaches, tips and questions to talk about afterwards.
Stories by topic
The stories work as social stories: they walk a child through a new experience before it happens.

On YouTube
Find every story on our channel, Emilia's Storybooks (@EmiliasStorybooks). Videos made for kids can't use YouTube's notification bell, so the season playlists are the easiest way to keep watching in order: Emilia's Big Firsts and Learn with Emilia.
