Hello! I’m Yiayia.

That’s Greek for grandmother, and it’s what my grandchildren call me. My name is Robin Samora, and I’m the creator of The Listening Treehouse™.

How It All Began

While working with small businesses and nonprofits, I met the wonderful people at Audio Journal, an organization that makes audio recordings for people who are blind or visually impaired.

I volunteered to make a few recordings myself, and that experience sparked an idea: Why not create short, original audio stories that children could enjoy?

And that’s how The Listening Treehouse™ began.

Emphasize the Good

My dad always said, ā€œEmphasize the good.ā€ Those words have stayed with me.

There’s a lot of conversation about AI, but I see its potential to help us create something positive. With a little imagination, creativity, and help from AI, I’m bringing new characters and stories to life.

Come Travel With Me

I’ve always loved traveling, discovering new places, and meeting interesting people. Now I get to share that sense of adventure through The Listening Treehouse™.

Who knows where our next story will take us?

I’m so glad you’re here.

With love,
Yiayia (Robin)
