Part of my tour in Australia and New Zealand was to research for upcoming books and I learned quite a few bits of wisdom from seasoned tellers.


visiting schools  &  storytelling  with children

Amazing knowledge is found from our children.  Often all we have to do is ask them.  Give them permission to share what they know and then sit back and be astounded.  You can have The Man In The Hat visit your school.  Invigorate your staff, engage your students and have them tell their story. We offer programs that fit YOUR desires.
