From the Inbox

This came in from the coordinator of a monthly "storyteller-in-residence"' program I've been doing this school year for several classes of preschoolers in Palo Alto:

 

Well you were paid the ultimate compliment the other day... My daughter, age four, told me that the story teller is sooo good that he does not even need BOOKs.  Rather, he TELLs the story without them.  She also told me that anyone can be a story teller.  Mission accomplished John!  i love it! Also, several parents have told me they have seen the development of much more imaginative play  in their children since you have been with the school.
We are so happy with this!

I'm so glad to know the program has been making a difference!
