150+ Children's Literacy Storytelling Programs                                for                                                                                          Schools & Public Libraries

In the children’s literacy programs, I dress as Captain Book accompanied by my first mate, Kitty the shaggy sheepdog, who howls an original song about the adventures waiting to be discovered in story treasures. The shows are fast-paced and appealing to various learning styles including children with autism.  Through the literacy show format, kids experience the “Four L’s of Literacy:  Literature for Laughing, Learning, and Loving”.  If you book visits in consecutive years, I will do a different set of stories for each visit.
