1 March ~2014

Each month I search out a good story to tell to 23 classrooms, 300 kids. My favorites have been Call of the Wild and Island of the Blue Dolphins. This month I told the first half of the 2014 Newberry winner - Flora and Ulysses. In two months I am planning to tell some fairy tales from Japan. Stories with animals or place are easier for me to tell, because I can put some of myself in them. It can be work, but is very rewarding.

Go to spellbinders.org for my information on volunteer storytelling.

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

—G. K. Chesterton

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” 
― Catherine of Siena
