A grandparent reading a bedtime story to a small child — Once Upon America

One gift, a hundred bedtimes — and a hundred school drives. Once Upon America is a premium audio storytelling app for families. Fairy tales worth growing up with, American heroes worth handing down, folk tales, poetry, and sleep sounds for the long nights.

What makes it a good gift

  • Ad-free, screen-free. Audio that meets your family where they already listen — at bedtime, on the drive, in the drop-off line.
  • One subscription covers the family. Up to six listeners per account. Works on phones, tablets, CarPlay, and Android Auto.
  • The canon, curated. Cinderella and Paul Revere. The Tortoise and Helen Keller. Stevenson's poems and Paul Bunyan's woods. The stories worth handing down.
  • Honest history. American stories told the way they actually happened — at a softness that fits bedtime, without scrubbing the truth.
  • Cancel any time. Through the App Store or Google Play.

What you give

A one-year subscription, redeemable on iPhone, iPad, or Android. The recipient gets the whole library — American stories, the fairy-tale classics, full-length audiobooks, and sleep sounds — for $24.99 per year, less than two hardcover books.
