Alane Adams Studios

Welcome to Alane Adams Studios! We started with the simple goal of taking readers on a visual journey through the intricate worlds that Alane crafts across her various series. After producing several award-winning book trailers our goals evolved. We wanted to be an organization that could create fun and engaging content that would not only get kids excited about reading, but would encourage them to create and tell their own stories as well. When the pandemic began in early 2020 we saw a huge need from teachers struggling to find activities for their students to engage with in the sudden shift to distance learning. We immediately began producing a Read Along series of Alane’s popular book The Blue Witch with accompanying worksheets, which proved very popular with teachers and students alike. Seeing the need for ever more high-quality free resources for teachers, we stepped up our production levels and developed a ground-breaking video series, Between The Pages, that brings children into a fully-animated, professionally crafted world and teaches them how an idea becomes a story and why reading is a superpower! Our core mission remains getting kids engaged with and excited about reading. We are currently in production on an animated web series based on one of Alane's books that will bring the same quality production values and core messages of the importance of reading and empowerment through storytelling. We continue to explore new avenues of animation and educational multimedia applications to ignite a love of reading in children.
