October 31, 2024Fantastic Halloween!
Had a great experience booking the Sunshine Storyteller to entertain all the kids that showed up for our corporate Halloween event. She did three back to back sessions and had the kids clapping and singing along the whole time. Booking and setting up was very smooth! Would highly recommend if you're looking for an experience that will entertain the kiddos, especially ones that like to interact and sing!

August 19, 2024So engaging!
Ina had my campers' attention for the whole presentation! They were actively involved in the stories, and the pacing was perfect. The movement and counting with the stories is just what my group of four and five year olds needed!
