Sierra Boone
Found, The Nap Time Show
Sierra L. Boone is a writer, producer, and founder using media and technology to build calmer, more connected childhoods. A graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, she has crafted stories for brands like The History Channel, ADIDAS, Verizon Media, and AFROPUNK—work rooted in the belief that storytelling can heal and transform communities.
In 2021, Sierra founded Boone Productions, launching The Nap Time Show®, a rest-centered children’s series now airing on PBS and trusted by tens of thousands of families worldwide. What began as a small idea in her living room has grown into a movement redefining what “screen time” can look like for kids.
Today, she leads the company’s next evolution: Fruit Snack Streams, a first-of-its-kind digital platform helping child care centers manage classroom transitions and emotional regulation through calm, story-driven media. By merging early childhood development, neuroscience, and storytelling, Sierra is helping educators reduce chaos, improve retention, and make peace a daily classroom practice.
Recognized as a Ford Philanthropy Fellow, Black Ambition Semifinalist, and Rocket Companies Marketing Accelerator Winner, Sierra continues to champion rest, innovation, and representation from her hometown of Detroit—proving that impact storytelling isn’t just entertainment; it’s infrastructure for a better world.
Transitions are hard. And look, we've all been there. Load up something on YouTube, pray the kids settle, and try to get through the next five minutes. But there's a difference between putting on a video and offering children something genuinely restorative. Most of what's available right now? It's working against you.
Sierra Boone, creator of The Nap Time Show, has been studying what made classic children's media like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and Sesame Street so developmentally rich. When she realized that kind of intentional, calming media had largely disappeared from the market, she built it herself: renovating a basement into a studio, pitching to PBS Kids, and now launching into her third season. In this conversation, we're getting into what's missing from modern children's media, how the wrong kind of screen time contributes to teacher burnout and kids who can't settle, and what you can do right now to be more intentional about what's playing in your classroom. This one is for anyone who's ever defaulted to YouTube during transitions and wondered if there was a better option.
