A look inside the Being Books library

IN THE BEING BOOKS APP

Two ways to listen.

The same story. A little more room at bedtime.

STANDARD EDITION

Whenever a story calls.

The complete story, with narration and original music. For a journey, a quiet moment or simply wanting to listen.

BEDTIME EDITION

A longer arrival.
Music that remains.

More time to settle into the story, with original music continuing after the narration ends. A little space at the end of the day.

THE MUSIC WITHIN

Made for the world
of each story.

Original soundtracks accompany the voice, the pauses and the imagined world. Sam weaves solfeggio frequencies into the music as part of his creative approach to sound.

Find a free story
Is the whole collection free?

The app offers free stories and an optional membership for the complete library, including Standard and Bedtime editions. Membership renews automatically unless cancelled through your Apple account. Check current local prices and terms before choosing. The two free website stories do not require a purchase.

Is Being Books only for bedtime?

No. Bedtime can be one place for a story, alongside journeys, everyday pauses and simply wanting to listen.

Do we need to listen together?

You are welcome to. Children and adults can meet the same story in their own ways, but listening together is an invitation, not a requirement.
