Storytelling for Grandparents with Priscilla Howe

Priscilla Howe loves to create stories from scratch, by borrowing from old tales or reinterpreting stories for this new era. As a storyteller, she guides people through her creative brain without scripts, props, or costumes to bring out laughs, smiles, and the sheer joy of a story well told. She performs at schools, libraries, festivales, events and has created her own site subscription series of stories.

Storytelling is not only one of the oldest forms of education in the world, but something Priscilla finds fun. She has been telling stories since she was a teenage babysitter and never stopped. With a Master’s Degree in Library Services and lots of experience as a children’s librarian, it only seems natural that storytelling would come easy to her. She’s been surrounded by tales and creating them throughout her life!

She has told stories in 14 countries and in French and Bulgarian, but mostly she shares them in English. Her collection of folktales from Bulgaria were published by Parkhurst Brothers Publishers, in a book called Clever, Kind, Tricky and Sly: A Bulgarian Folktale Sampler.

Come to Priscilla's event on May 4th to get professional tips for telling excellent stories to your grandkids and to reflect on how storytelling can keep our families connected even in this disconnected time.

Guest Speaker: Storytelling for Grandparents with Priscilla Howe

One of the longest-lasting gifts we can give to children is the gift of story. Whether you’re telling true stories, made-up tales or old favorite folktales, storytelling strengthens family bonds. In this participatory workshop, Priscilla offers her favorite tips and techniques for building a storytelling tradition in your family.
