Rezensionen
'Without imagination we are lost - from ourselves, the world and one another. This magical book is your map to the 'stories' of childhood and a timely reminder to dream harder, bigger and brighter. Your children need you to read it.'

Greg Bottrill, author of Can I Go and Play Now - Rethinking the Early Years and School and the Magic of Children

'Trisha Lee's magical book, The Growth of a Storyteller, shows how the youngest children develop the ability to tell their own stories and act them out. Starting with two-year-olds, Trisha watched as they learned to expand their characters and plots, and she shows the reader why storytelling and story acting are such a valuable tool for the language development, social skills, and emotional well-being of all children.'

Jane Katch, author of Under Deadman's Skin - Discovering the Meaning of Children's Violent Play, They Don't Like Me - Lessons on Bullying, and Far Away from the Tigers

'This beautiful book is utterly captivating and should come with a warning that meals will go unprepared and dogs will go unwalked once you start reading it. A story in itself, it delivers theory and practical information and provides compelling evidence for the importance of ensuring that children's voices are heard, and valued, now more than ever. I guarantee you will find yourself listening to children in a different way after reading this.'

Kym Scott, Early Years Consultant, and founder, A Place To Learn

'Human beings are a storying species, get us together with a group of friends and we will all tell our stories. Trisha's work, which is inspired by the wonderful Vivian- Gussin- Paley, explores what it means to be a young storyteller and how the essential skills of storytelling develop when nurtured by skilled and knowledgeable adults. A must-read for anyone who works with young children.'
