I wish there were more storytellers for children. Martha can sit for quite a long story now...she doesn't need lots of pictures although some are good and she doesn't need a movie/tv screen. She can listen and understand and then narrate back to me and still remembers the story for a long time.
On Saturday at a fundraiser we met a man who was an excellent storyteller. He had puppets and books and voices and charisma. Martha was unsure at first and stayed back but he wove her into his story and I watched as she honoured him with half a smile then answered some questions then just totally loved it.
I really hope to book him for something soon.
