Beautiful story

A beautiful legend about the history of the dream catcher. The details are so vivid I could visualize the the story as it unfolded. Now I want an original Ojibwe dream catcher.

Origin of the "Dream Catcher"

Loved hearing how this native American legend may have begun. The story was very detailed, to help the reader imagine it. The super quiet whispering voice of the narrator, was hard to hear. Not all parts of this story needed whispering.

Wonderful voice.

Enjoyed the story and the voice was so soothing. It did the trick to help me sleep.

Keke is Amazing!

Her voice is perfect for this reading. It is extremely soothing and her voice adds an almost sensual element to the story.

I recommend this story! Great story and narration!

I’m an chronic night owl and there are nights that I have a hard time falling asleep and my mind just won’t settle down. Those are the nights that I listen to this story and I usually fall asleep. I have rarely had to listen to the story a second time. The narration is great and Keke Palmer’s voice is perfect for this story to listen to and lull you to sleep. I truly recommend this story! I wish that she did more narrations.

All around pleasant

Good story and narration - very calming and interesting
I’ve always loved dream catchers so it was nice to hear another story about them

Worked too well

I have yet to hear the entire story! I have started this 4 times, and always fall asleep before the end. Last night I played it for my 10yr old daughter and we both fell asleep. Keke has such a soothing tone, It's very relaxing, perfect for my after work brain at 10 am.

Pleasant and educational

Keke's voice is perfect for a relaxing story! Audible should get her to read more bedtime/calming stories. Also, very cool story of the dream catcher!

I'm grateful I listened, very memorable story of a lively American Indian tradition and culture.
