One More Story is calm, intentional story content for children aged 3 to 7, made in Adelaide by a professional performer and teacher. This page is for the adults who work with children for a living.
Each One More Story episode is a slow, unhurried read aloud of an original picture book, delivered by a trained performer, followed by a live folk lullaby. Pacing, palette, sound design and caption volume are all designed around the sleep onset window, drawing on published research into fast media and young children's executive function.
The picture books run six to six and a half minutes read aloud. Each follows the same narrative arc, builds in one deliberate breath moment where the pace drops completely, and shows its lesson through character behaviour rather than stating it.
One More Story content aligns most strongly with the following outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework V2.0, Belonging, Being and Becoming.
| EYLF Outcome 1 | Children have a strong sense of identity. Feeling safe, secure and supported. |
|---|---|
| EYLF Outcome 3 | Children have a strong sense of wellbeing. Social and emotional regulation. |
| EYLF Outcome 5 | Children are effective communicators. Engaging with texts, expressive language and verbal interaction. |
| Australian Curriculum v9.0 | Foundation level English. Exploring how images and words contribute to meaning, retelling stories, and identifying rhymes and letter patterns. |
Per book curriculum mapping sheets and a short educator guide for each title, with discussion questions and extension activities, are in development and will be freely downloadable from this page.
Mr. H is available for read aloud sessions, Book Week visits and library storytimes in South Australia. Sessions are gentle by design and work well with reception and early primary classes.
A channel overview for broadcasters, libraries and early childhood organisations is available on request, along with review copies of the books. For interviews, partnerships, distribution and anything in between, the door is open.
