If you don’t know The Moth. Check out their podcasts. Last night I finally got to see a Moth presentation live…in Pittsburgh.
This is what I tell my students when I visit schools.
Story telling is what makes us human. Story telling connects us all. Stories are why I became a writer.
The Bear in The Bottom of the Bed is an out-loud story(not for reading story) I share with students around the world.
It was my father’s story. He gave it to me. I made it mine and I share it.
When you share a story you have given a gift. The listener can retell it and pass it on.
I love hearing and telling stories. I love sharing and making connections. The Moth. Check it out and have a listen.
