About Storytelling and Teaching

Storytelling and education are sacred to me. For most of human history, stories were the only way we passed on our history, our cultural taboos and norms. That's true for all of us- from an Mbuti pygmy to my Irish Grandmother. For thousands of years, stories were created, memorized, adapted, changed, and created again. The social and academic growth students make when they tell stories to other students, parents and members of the community is an incredibly rewarding experience for everybody. Children need to be taught how to write and tell their own stories.
