Look!  Books!

We teamed with folklorist, children's librarian, and storyteller Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald to write the following books...

A one-stop resource book for teachers!  You'll find everything you need for harnessing the magical power of storytelling across the "Seven Cs" in the classroom...community, character, creativity, culture, curriculum, communication, and confidence. There are techniques for learning new stories,  several ready-to-tell tales, and useful tips for how to use them right away with your students!

An Appalachian variant of the tale of the "Kind and Unkind Sisters". Two sisters go on the same  errand with very different results!

A Cinderella story with a twist! We found the kernel for this retelling in the folklore section of a magical used book store in Paris many, many years ago. What if Cinderella MEANT to lose her shoe?!? Good question! We've been telling this version of Cinderella for years and it keeps changing with the times...like all good folktales!
