The Biggest Little House in the Forest

We had Jen at our library as a special storyteller this past Summer and it was so amazing to watch her tell the story of the animals who seek refuge in the little house in the forest. Jen captivated both the little and big members of our audience and the story was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The booking process was easy and efficient and Jen was timely and attentive to our needs. If possible, we would definitely host her again in the future!

Fantastic thespian and singer for children

Ms. Jennifer was a delightful performer. She expertly entertained a large group of wiggly toddlers and their older siblings during our library Storytime program. Her performance was a lovely retelling of a gentle story with homemade props and stuffed animal characters. I loved how she spent a few minutes explaining to the children how she created her props, and how they can use recyclable materials (and their imaginations) to create their own storytelling backdrops. The story was highly interactive, the children were clearly engaged, and she ended the show with a bubble/dance party. She is the perfect performer for the PreK and under crowd!

What to expect

Hello! I offer a wide range of services under the Storybook Family Playhouse umbrella, ergo, what you can expect will differ based on the program hired. That said, what does not change program to program is the smiles, the energy, and the professionalism. I come fully prepared, early with time to set up, and unless I have an immediate booking after, I even stay after to socialize with your guests. I come from an event management background, so even though I am a performer, I am always thinking about what is happening around me at the same time. I always bring my big energy with me to every performance.

Additional booking notes

For performances, usually a standard library set up, or an 8x10 area, is all that is needed. Flat, ideally not in direct sunlight when possible. We do not provide chairs, so ideally, we are in a grassy area, indoors, on pavement in the shade, or mats are provided for the children. Floor covering can be provided for smaller groups with less than 15 kids.
