Welcome to

Stories! That's what I'm all about. Stories that I write for early readers to teens. Stories to read aloud at storytime. Stories I tell through the ancient performance art of storytelling. Stories that enhance early literacy skills and prepare a child for reading. Stories that introduce concepts such as social emotional learning, diversity, and STEM. I lead interactive workshops for librarians, teachers and parents. I offer performances for anyone who wants to hear a world story well told from the heart. I use my experiences as a children's librarian and manager of many years, and as a third generation storyteller, to bring the love of reading and storytelling to you. Read More
