Tim visited our school for a mixed-age (K-5) storytelling hour. Students were engaged and laughing the whole time!
Response from Storyteller Tim Ereneta:
Loved telling stories at Live Oak School! The students were great listeners and enthusiastic participants!
Tim came to our house for my wife's birthday. The theme was Flannel and Firepits. He spent an hour telling us stories around a fire. He was punctual, polite, and a great storyteller. We were not sure what to expect but we loved the experience. In fact, everyone was talking about what a great job Tim did.
