The Natural Storyteller is full of dynamic story seeds. When you open the book and read a story seed, you plant it in yourself, unleashing courage, creativity + love of nature.
True stories of environmental heroines + heroes, botanical tales of living trees. Stories gleaned from the treasures of world traditions, but re-visioned for today's child + told with great energy + panache.
Adventures between birds, animals + people. Fairytales from the forest + true tales of sea, earth + sky. Some so good readers will retell them at once.
Shared at bedtime or around the campfire under the stars, these stories inspire wonder + service for Mother Earth.
Here is a handbook for the natural storyteller, with story maps, brain-teasing riddles, story skeletons + adventures to make a tale your own; a vibrant invitation to embrace a world of stories all about nature, animals + plants + our relationship with them.
Georgiana Keable shows through a range of techniques sometimes the power of the story alone how to interpret, re-tell and pass these stories on for the future. This diverse collection of stories will nurture active literacy skills, and help form an essential bond with nature.
