When we first uploaded a W.E.Kiwi story to YouTube, we had no real big plan strategy and a myriad spreadsheets. We just wanted to tell stories. A gentle one. A funny one. One that might make a child smile, feel calm, or ask for “just one more story, please.”
Today, that little idea has grown into 20,000+ subscribers, and it feels a tad surreal.
What started as one voice reading stories has turned into a bedtime ritual for families we’ve never met, kids listening in bedrooms, cars, libraries, and living rooms all around the world. And knowing that W.E.Kiwi is part of those quiet, cosy moments. That’s something we don’t take lightly.
20,000 isn’t just a number to us. It’s:
-
A child who asks for the same audiobook every night
-
A parent grateful for a calm moment during the day or before bedtime
-
A teacher playing a poem during class time
-
A comment that says, “This helped my child create new creature and write a story!"
For us - that’s the real milestone.
Whether you’ve been listening since the early days or found us yesterday - THANK YOU! Truly. You’ve helped turn a small creative project from New Zealand into something shared by families everywhere. And we’re not done yet.
There are more stories to write, more characters to meet, and many more quiet moments to be part of.
From Jon (and our little Kiwi world) - thank you for listening. 💛
