Everyone listened with enthusiasm. The children learned so much from an Excellent performance.”
-- Mrs. Meira Thomas, Teacher, Beaumaris Primary School, Isle of Anglesey, WALES

fluctuation and accents created a mood for each story. We could have listened for hours. She has motivated me as a teacher
to try my hand at being a ‘storyteller’.”
-- Michelle Ames, Teacher, Ronald S. Beasley School, St. Louis,
MO

high’.”
