Very often, stories for kids are created by adults. And while some adults are very much in touch with their inner kid, there's something different about a story illustrated and narrated by an actual kid.
That's exactly what we've found in the videos of Lilja-Ellen Cook, part of an Estonian family living in Finland. For a YouTube channel called LilliTuba (Lilli's Room), Lilja has created a series of drawings based around short Estonian language stories. She also narrates the stories. Directorial duties are taken on by Pilvi Cook. Language editing help comes from Jaanika Kingumets.
