Stories can teach us empathy. They can also take us on fantastic adventures. When you tell a story, it brings language alive. When you tell it through a poem, it creates awareness of rhythm and structure. Here’s a story about the art of imagination and pretending, told through a poem. Dew Drop Dawn is one of the creatures of our Enchanted Forest - created and told at The SkyGarden play group. I've complied several of the stories told through puppetry or recitation. You can find Dew Drop Dawn, and others, here (along with accompanying chalk drawings) https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?KncDI5fjYJZtXEQGTeDWVWGCFUCo9odI9MB8tZ9jjh4

The story of St. Michael and the dragon is one that is told traditionally around harvest time. It is often told to children when they begin their formal education, as a consideration of courage in conquering dragons, both internal and external. This is a softer story I tell to younger children. It encourages an understanding that they too, even at a young age, can be in charge of the taming of their own dragons! Told at the SkyGarden.
