Description
What is a Traditional Storyteller? It's someone who has mastered the art of telling a story so well that the words come to life and transform themselves into pictures in a child's imagination. It's the way we've learned for millennia and it's absolutely captivating.
It's also highly educational. Children’s early knowledge of story is the most influential indicator of later educational
... Read More achievement. And now every child can experience story telling the way it was always meant to be.
