The Art of Storytelling with Gay Ducey and Sandra Noman
This show will bring you into the magical world of storytelling. You'll hear all about why stories matter in our lives - why we love them - and how they help us communicate. You'll be transported back to a time when you first heard of Cinderella and Snow White. And our guests will share how stories affect our body, mind, heart and soul.
You'll hear:
* What it was like to be a guest on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. * How stories can enhance education as well as bring hope to young people * What it would take for you to be a good storyteller * How your children can benefit from story hours at your local library. * What the difference is between a fairy tale, a myth and a fable
