Booking for 2025
We know that you have many great choices for your programs.
So this is what we think is most important for you to know about us.
We've been crisscrossing the country for many years,
receiving rave reviews for our signature style of participatory storytelling, storytelling workshops for kids, and storytelling workshops for families.
We thought we would not be able to travel in 2025 due to illness of a family member. But the situation changed, and Bob will be touring for a limited number of requests. Liz will be available for programming beginning with Hispanic Heritage Month programs.
The Voiceless Child
We share this short video that was inspired by our work in a California school district.
During her first four years of school, Sophie's teachers never heard her utter a single word in class. Then on the third day of our storytelling residency, Sophie picked up the Talking Stick, introduced herself and explained how her mother made tortillas. Her classmates instantly erupted in cheers and applause The faculty lunch room and even the local cafe was abuzz with the news. A young French film student heard the story and created this video- The Voiceless Child.
This testimonial speaks to what we aim for!
"Liz and Bob enthralled a packed room of preschoolers, school age kids, parents, and teachers and kept all ages entertained at once – an amazing feat. Their delightful combination of fun personalities, participatory folktales and foot stomping music culminated with the audience becoming the band! One of our all time favorite programs!” (Lincoln MA Public Library)
