Stories to share

I hope you are all doing well. I am still busy at the library, recording videos and podcasts and helping people get materials through curbside service. 

I wanted to share the links for a couple of my stories. You can find more on YouTube under Houston Public Library or Blue Willow Bookshop.

Here are a couple of stories I told:

Obedient Jack-  

The Lion and the Mouse

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!

More pictures from the Menlo Park Public Library Storytelling Festival. I had a great time!

I also told The Boy who Drew Cats last Saturday at the Skyline Screamers event in the Heights. Several scary stories were told and it was great! I am glad I didn't miss it!

I will next be telling stories at Providence Classical School in Spring on Monday Oct. 29. I was able to tell to the younger children last year and I am excited to go again. With stories about fall, harvest and animals, it should be fun for all attending.

Have a great week! Tell a story!!!

Storytelling at Menlo Park Public Library was great!

I did a program of stories last Tuesday at Menlo Park Public Library. The audience of kids and adults was great and I told a variety of folk tales, along with my personal story about my favorite dog Albert. Take a look at the pictures!
