I’m so glad I found this website!! my daughter
and I were just talking today about finding
how important it is to not only teach my
granddaughter to read but to instill in her
the magic that you can be anyone or go
anywhere in a book! My daughter mentioned
that they play a game where they start stories
and then the next person takes over so
she gets a chance to use her imagination.
So I will definitely listen in and hope for a
storytelling convention to come to San Diego
someday. thank You
