“Every single child was completely glued. The energy in that room was something else.”

Eton Prep School, London

A classroom with children sitting on the floor and adults dressed in costumes standing at the front, likely performing for the children, with colorful decorations and educational posters on the walls.

Storytelling is my favourite thing in the whole world.

My interactive storytelling sessions were built in collaboration with the English Coordinator for a group of leading Primary Schools. They have been designed to promote creativity, confidence and to encourage a love of reading.

I have shared my stories with over 1,200 children in the last 3 months.
