Storytelling with Children
Nancy Mellon
Nancy Mellon uses the skills of Imagination, Memory and Play to encourage families in the art of storytelling; helping strengthen family connectedness, whilst also serving as an educational aid.
The use of the imagination in storytelling helps to; awaken listening; open the senses; focus attention; encourage language development; lead towards a more developed sense of who we are and what we can become.
The language of evolution, storytelling is the gift of our ancestors from all cultures, given to help nourish our healthy development in times of growth and change. Full of wonderful tips of the trade that relax you just to read them, Storytelling with Young Children invites you to embark on the adventure of a lifetime - the journey of the imagination.
'In a time when many people are losing the relationship with rich and musical language, Mellon reawakens the gift of storytelling in the heart of the adult. This book should stimulate adults to become confident storytellers to children as well as to nurture themselves through the power of story.'
Betty Staley, author
'No longer will children be dependent on television and movies for stories. They will hear them told in the shelter of their families as they always have through the millennia.'
