Priscilla Howe on Storyteller.net
Priscilla’s giant repertoire of stories includes folktales, stories from books--after all, she’s a former children’s librarian--and her own stories, most served with a generous dollop of humor. Her performances are perfect for schools and libraries, engaging the listeners from the smallest to the tallest, including the teachers. Priscilla travels around the country and abroad (Brazil, Germany, Bulgaria and Belgium, to date) with a bag of puppets and a headful of stories. She has been telling stories since 1988, full-time since 1993. It’s easy to bring Priscilla to your venue. E-mail for information on rates and availability.Priscilla Howe, NSN directory
Priscilla's performances are a delightful blend of entertainment and education. With younger listeners, Priscilla's handpuppets come along for the ride and there's plenty of audience participation. Older kids and adults hear a more sophisticated mix of stories, served up with a dollop of humor. Expect surprises with Priscilla, such as a story told in French or Bulgarian. Priscilla has a wide range, from two-minute stories to the Medieval romance "Tristan and Iseult," in 95 minutes. She's as comfortable with preschoolers as she is with kids at the Juvenile Detention Center.
I love telling stories. I love it so much that I became a full-time storyteller in 1993. What do I tell? Funny, scary, serious, goofy and sophisticated stories, tailored to the audience in front of me.

Storytelling notes
Some people learn better kinesthetically, moving slightly as they listen. I often build in movement to stories for young children who learn through their bodies. If kids aren't bothering anybody else, I don't mind if they are fidgeting or drawing or rocking. It would be great if we could let kids listen however they are most comfortable, from lying down to sitting to kneeling to wandering. I recently heard at a lecture on brain science that the best posture for learning is with the hips at about 135 degrees--slouching back.
