Canela Media announced its latest partnership with Storybook, a unique app that combines beloved tales with tools for parents to help calm and ready their kids for bedtime through touch, meditation, and positive affirmations.
The collaboration is set to kick off during the Back-to-School season and offers Canela Kids’ audience a series of calming and educational vignettes, enhancing the child-parent bond, improving sleep quality, and promoting a sense of togetherness during family bedtime routines.
Canela Kids will offer a selection of these soothing vignettes for free in Spanish for families to enjoy together and learn. Canela Kids commissioned the development of 10 original stories exclusively tailored for its platform. These stories center around topics such as kindness, bravery, the first day of school, and overcoming challenges.
“We are excited to partner with Storybook to bring these unique and calming bedtime vignettes to our Latino community for free through our Canela Kids section on Canela.TV. This partnership with Storybook aligns perfectly with Canela Kids’ vision to encourage meaningful family learning time and foster strong family bonds through enjoyable experiences. By offering these Spanish-language stories that promote relaxation, empathy, and emotional learning, we aim to create an even more enriching experience for our audience and create treasured moments that families can cherish while engaging in educational activities reinforcing the bonds between parents and their children,” said Maggie Salas-Amaro, director of Canela Kids.
Francisco Cornejo, co-founder of Storybook, enthusiastically shared, “Our collaboration with Canela Kids marks a groundbreaking moment in children’s content creation. For the first time, we’re fusing scientific insights from sleep and behavioral experts with enchanting storytelling to produce content that doesn’t merely entertain but actively fosters relaxation and emotional well-being. Parents can now truly trust that their children are receiving content designed to soothe, engage, and enrich in a way that’s never been done before. It’s an extraordinary leap towards a happier, healthier bedtime, and we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of this remarkable journey”.
