WHAT THE BOOKERS, AUDIENCES, AND STUDENTS SAY:

Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us. I know I heard a lot of students say they enjoyed the show, and even go outside to call their friends to invite them to come listen too. We really thought the event was a success, and it couldn't have been so without you. Cyndie Evans, Revelle College Advisor

Thanks, Harlynne! I'm sure it is a real boost for new children's librarians to be introduced to storytelling by a professional. Thanks for coming and encouraging my students. Kathleen Kaiser, Professor

Liked exploration of how the different themes came about and how they are similar in different cultures. Your workshop was terrific! Thank you for coming. Eunice Au, San Diego

It has been such a pleasure to hear from your class participants about what a wonderful course "Storytelling: You Can, Too!" is. The responses have been nothing but purely positive. Your students speak with the highest regard for you.
