I've booked 10 shows so far and have 5 more possibilities in the pipeline; since I just started the promotions I don't want to change my plans at this time. I am always flexible, though, so if a library requests something else, I can accommodate them. My country tour will touch on festivals of the world as well as the stories, and some of the customs of the various places too. The librarians I've spoken with like this program as a kickoff or finale for their summers.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-25940995048561310642011-01-28T11:47:29.240-05:002011-01-28T11:47:29.240-05:00I think 'Around the World' is what so many...I think 'Around the World' is what so many tellers will be doing this summer. I would narrow it down some, and focus on stories all about say--good luck or fairy-sized characters or something child oriented. They'll love your stories once they get them into the library.--Janeharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429442912701353172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-2592325538672792842011-01-28T10:41:24.069-05:002011-01-28T10:41:24.069-05:00You're right about Scandanavia, Rowan--I'm...You're right about Scandanavia, Rowan--I'm currently reading a collection of Norwegian stories and they're wonderful-funny, surprising, lots of great imagery, trolls and giants and all kinds of action.

Writing grants is full time. I used to write them wearing a different hat than I do now. Programming such delightful story times also is time consuming. I get the feeling that you love what you are doing and that is all that counts. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-63476717554959405502011-01-28T10:29:51.447-05:002011-01-28T10:29:51.447-05:00It sounds like an interesting theme for the summer...It sounds like an interesting theme for the summer reading programme. Must admit I'd have been inclined to focus on Scandinavia as they have such a huge number of wonderful myths and legends - but that's just because it attracts me of course:)<br />Hope you get your funding, it's hard work applying for funding of any kind in any country I think.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-39230005853928889852011-01-28T07:04:10.929-05:002011-01-28T07:04:10.929-05:00I love hearing that, Jessica.

Once we saw a little guy walking down the road with his dad, excitedly re-telling a story I'd just told. He didn't know we were behind him! It was great.<br /><br />Angela, there's so much it's hard to pick what to do. It's like opening a trunk of beautiful clothes, each dress more beautiful than the last. This world is full of stories and music. Choosing what to use is not easy.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-67548187526016430582011-01-27T22:22:45.719-05:002011-01-27T22:22:45.719-05:00That does sound like a great theme for the Summer ...That does sound like a great theme for the Summer program!
