About this listen

Step into a world where stories breathe and pages whisper secrets. Ten-year-old Latoya, a girl who feels more at home in books than in her own life, stumbles upon a magical library unlike any other. Here, atlases murmur the names of forgotten lands, cookbooks weep for a long-lost baker, and spellbooks grumble with forgotten spells. But this wondrous library is fading, its magic dimming with every forgotten tale.

Follow Latoya on a whimsical and heartfelt adventure as she journeys through the pages of twenty living books, each with a unique problem only she can solve. She'll confront a knight without his rhythm, a grumbling troll with a bad case of the hiccups, and a mischievous mirror with a mind of its own. To save the stories she loves, Latoya must learn to use her own voice and imagination, discovering that she is not just a reader, but an essential part of the magic itself.

The Library of Living Books is a tale for anyone who has ever found a friend between the pages of a book. It's an enchanting story about the power of imagination, the importance of empathy, and the quiet magic found in every corner of the world.
