To bring some well-deserved extra attention to our most active and inspirational uTalers from around the world, uTales presents uTaler of the Month.
For the month of June, our uTaler of the Month is Joanna Marple. The author of uTales book Snow Games wins the title not only for her fantastic book, but also for the worldwide blog tour she recently started to promote her ebook for children. Well done Joanna! To get to know this inspirational author even more, we did a shot interview with her.
We’re getting a lot of questions about if we publish religious ebooks for kids on uTales, so we thought we’d share our thoughts:
We welcome all sorts of fantastic books for kids at uTales, but we also need to set some limitations to keep uTales open for kids from all over the world. uTales is a non-denominational platform, offering books for children of all belief systems, faiths, and religions. While uTales publishes retellings of religion-based fables, religion-based folktales, and stories from various historical religious texts, uTales does not publish books that uTales deem to be proselytizing. We hope all uTalers understand and respect this!

Ok, to state that “e-books are bad for your kids” might sound outright stupid coming from the uTales team. uTales is a platform that’s all about ebooks for kids, so why would we tell you that ebooks are bad for your children? Well, please hear us out before you label us as complete nuts. Continue reading
To bring some well-deserved extra attention to our most active and inspirational uTalers from around the world, uTales presents uTaler of the Month.
For this month, the obvious choice was our very own Anders Lindholm. Anders has not only created numerous uTales ebooks, but is also the man who came up with the idea for uTales’ very first community-created ebook known as The Friendship Alphabet. So we did a little interview with Anders for you to enjoy!

Somedays are special, and today is very special. We are very proud to announce that the worldwide community of ebook authors and illustrators that truly is uTales, have come together for a very special ebook project. Initiated by Swedish illustrator Anders Lindholm, the project has seen more than thirty uTalers from fifteen different countries create a digital ebook for kids – together!
This is a very unique thing indeed! The ebook is called The Friendship Alphabet and is all about teaching the alphabet to children, while promoting friendship. It also showcases different storytelling and illustrative styles from all over the world. The creative friendship behind this project has been amazing to witness, and even more gratifying is the fact that it has all been done in the name of charity. All proceeds from the ebook will support Pencils of Promise and their work to build new schools in developing countries.
Check out The Friendship Alphabet on uTales now!
Thank you to all the amazing uTalers taking part in this project!
