Who are The Whitman Tellers?
We are storytellers...
In our tandem storytelling performances, we enjoy sharing lively folktales from around the world. We weave music, movement, and plenty of audience participation as we encourage listeners to jump up and join in the fun!
We are educators...
With over two decades experience as international educators and storytellers, we are passionate about the role of storytelling in the classroom. We believe that each child has a unique story to tell and that an essential part of our job as educators is to help children share their stories with the world.
We are authors...
We teamed with Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald to write a how-to guide for storytelling in the classroom. We are excited to share Teaching With Story: Classroom Connections to Storytelling with the world. The book pairs our thoughts about the power of story in teaching with 20 easy-to-learn folktales you can tell right away.
We invite you to explore our site and consider the role of storytelling in YOUR world!
