As part of World Storytelling Day, we here at GetLitt! asked our friends at Secret Passages to help us create Storytelling videos using the books available in our library. Secret Passage is a storytelling community and company, who offer a certificate course on ‘The Heart and Craft of Storytelling.’ Hence, we thought they’d be the perfect people to partner with for the ‘One More Page, Please’ initiative.
The books read by the talented storytellers feature ‘Amazing Animals’ – one of the five categories we shortlisted for this initiative. Many children’s book authors create animal protagonists because children are fascinated with furry creatures. Therefore, the stories, morals or life lessons in these books are easier for kids to understand and accept because they are told through animal characters.
So, let’s not waste any more time, we know you’re eager to scroll down to our storytelling videos! Each storyteller was given a short snippet of the book to narrate because these videos aim to help parents with their storytelling journey. Once the video is over, head to the book link and take over the storytelling session with your own personal style!
All the books mentioned here are available on www.getlitt.co/library.
