Here you will find a collection of stories for various topics and seasons. Some are written by me and shared on this blog, some are linked to from other places and also shared online, and some are from books I love.
We love telling stories, often with simple props and puppets, to children. Stories told in this way to children spark their imaginations, nourish their spirits and teach in a way children really respond to. They are also a wonderful tool for the gentle, peaceful approach to parenting that we practice.
(It will take a while for me to get stories up on this new blog, but I am working on it, so check back often!)
