About this event
Renowned storyteller, Eshu Bumpus, will explore techniques for telling stories to your (or anybody's) grandchildren. Together we will explore ideas for telling familiar stories (Grimm’s, Andersen’s, etc.), creating your own versions of stories, putting your grandchildren in the stories, combining your personal stories with folktales, and playing story games together. We’ll have fun and develop confidence with storytelling. Until we gather, click here to see Eshu telling a story - The Little Girl That Got AwayListen
