    About this ebook

    The art of storytelling reveals subtle or blatant truths that can be used as teaching tools for minds young and old.

    This is a unique collection of stories and poems intended for reading aloud, engaging both the reader and listener in creative imagination. Each story embeds a lesson that will hopefully plant a seed for future cultivation. These are simple enough stories for children often with a surprise ending yet poetic and dramatic enough for a storytelling voice.

      About the Author

      For my daughters whom I share in the joys and trials of motherhood. You have been my inspiration and support through all my story dreams. Thank you for believing in me.

      Preface

      Storytelling is, in a word, influential. I was greatly influenced by stories as a child. As I listened to my father fabricate a story from some depth of memory of his own childhood, it was never told the same twice. I was transfixed. Sometimes I would correct him, offer suggestions, or ask questions. That's the beauty of storytelling. It is organic and fluid. It tests your memory and entices your imagination. Stories taught me about the value of being truthful, putting other's needs before my own, and standing up for what's right and how to be brave.

      Stories, after all, are a teaching tool. We pass down our own bits of ancestry through stories we have heard. My own ancestry is recalled in a story of my grandparents who got married in Denmark the day before my grandfather embarked on a journey to America. It was more than a year later when he sent a ticket for my grandmother! She didn't speak a word of English when he picked her up at the port, so he gave her a dollar and taught her to say, Ham-cheese sandwich, coffee, and went to work. At least that's how I remember it. Whether accurate or not, the essence is there. History is most captivating when it contains a story. The Bible itself is a set of stories meant to teach and instruct. Many of us believe the stories of the Bible are true, but Jesus also used parables Himself as the most profound way to teach.

      When studying for my degree in education, some of the classes I most enjoyed were children's literature. I found that I tended to focus on the stories that came from
