Now more than ever, children need safe ways to process complex feelings. Storytelling offers a gentle, engaging way to do just that. Whether you’re reading a book, inventing a tale, or using metaphor in everyday language, you’re offering children a lifeline—a way to feel seen, understood, and empowered.

This seminar is for anyone who wants to use storytelling as more than just a literacy tool. It’s for early years practitioners who believe in the power of connection, creativity, and compassion.
