Chicken And Train Academy (Previously Storytellers) is a branch of Bring On The Art®. It is the curriculum we create for a private home school of the same name, Chicken And Train Academy. It is our digital media and publishing company dedicated to helping neurodiverse minds and hearts find their artistic voice. While Bring On The Art® creates a wide range of art resources like coloring books, tutorials, projects, reviews, and art boxes, Chicken And Train Academy has a more focused mission:
Chicken And Train Academy brings interest based learning into class, and thus more accessibility to learning.
Why Chicken And Train Academy Exists
Chicken And Train Academy was once called Storytellers, and has grown since. It was born from a parent’s lived experience. Our founder, Krisztianna, began creating her own activities and stories when she couldn’t find, or afford, the resources her child needed. What started in her studio and sketchbook grew into a library of creative tools that now supports families, classrooms, and homeschooling communities.
Chicken And Train Academy is now her private Homeschool, registered with the state of California. It is about making education more flexible, engaging, and inclusive - especially for those who thrive when learning is interest-based or when social-emotional learning helps make the world easier to navigate.

Yes, We Are On TPT!
Teachers Pay Teachers is an amazing website of resources for educators, and yes we also share some our content there. Please feel free to visit and browse our TPT library! If you are feeling generous we always appreciate comments and feedback.
Lastly, NO AI Art.
We do not use AI art. We feel our strength in creating content comes from our very human experiences and connections with each-other. These experiences inform our work, our art, and our writing. Everything here has a human hand behind it. We also do not consent to having our content, writing or art, fed into any learning models.
The very act of making the art is more important than the art itself. The process, the thought, the work, the creating - all of it helps our mind grow as well as our capacity for empathy through struggle and maintaining connection to each-other.
