    Once Upon a Family Tree

    From the famous forest of Nottingham to the rural potato fields of Idaho, Madeline Rollins has family stories that warm the heart, tickle the funny bone, and inspire adventure. These stories taught her that when something in life makes you laugh or cry, it can someday become a great story to pass down to future generations. Whether her tales are from a hundred years ago or happened yesterday, Madeline unwraps the chaos and comedy of family life across the ages to inspire connection with the people we interact with today. So come along as Madeline unravels the threads of her family tapestry and tell the true tales that happened once upon a family tree.

    Curriculum & Lesson Planning for Storytellers: Bringing Stories to the Classroom

    Storytellers know that stories teach. But do we always know how best to communicate with teachers and administrators what our stories teach and how stories can strengthen their students' learning experiences, support learning objectives, and enhance classroom culture? Join Sarah Brady for an interactive workshop that aids storytellers in communicating through lesson plans how their stories align with curriculum.
