Hello
While the library I work at has been closed, I have been busy recording some books for online storytimes through Houston Public Library.
Below is the link to one.

I was also able to work with Valerie at Blue Willow Bookshop to have a virtual storytime on Facebook. The link is below:

Have a great week. And watch for more books and especially some storytelling. I am learning more about recording programs and sharing with you.

Sharing stories with students

I realize I have not written in this blog in a while. Life gets busy and I forget I have it.
I was able to do a program of storytelling last week for a middle school GTA class. The students are  studying storytelling, with the goal of developing a story to tell to younger students.
How fun it was to share my storytelling experiences and then share a few different stories. I did a flannelboard story of The Enormous Turnip that some of them also helped me act out. And they helped with sound effects for the story It Could Always Be Worse. Other stories I included were The Runaway Wok and Two Bear Cubs, along with my version of The Frog Prince, which included my frog puppet.
I don't do as much storytelling outside the library as I would like, but I always love the opportunity when it comes.
Happy Storytelling!
