She was the hit of the party!

I am so glad I had the Traveling Storyteller for my daughter's halloween party. She was the highlight of the party for sure. I was really worried about keeping 20+ 8 year old girls entertained for 3 hours and she made the time fly by quickly. She was very flexible and knew how to read and adjust to the girls interests and attention span! We can't wait to have her back again!

Thank you so much!! We had a great time. That was actually my first time doing improv while the children acted out skits but it was so much fun, the girls taught me a new skill! Many thanks to you and those wonderful young ladies🤗

Kept all the kids thoroughly entertained

Ngo (the traveling storyteller) was just amazing. She had 15 5-8 y/o hyped up on Halloween candy thoroughly engrossed in stories, dance, and play. She brought music, lights, and all kinds of cool little surprises. Her costume was super fun too.

But not only is she incredibly talented as a entertainer, but she is also incredibly easy to work with and really helpful throughout the event corralling kids and even helping pass around cup cakes, etc at the end. She understands kids parties can be a little chaotic (and I misjudged the timing) but she remained super accommodating and generous with her time. We’ve had magicians and balloon guys for previous parties but The Traveling Storyteller was so much more unique and captivating for the kids. And while she entertained by herself in our basement, the adults got to hang out upstairs.

Just an awesome person and performer. Would recommend as a special guest for school events and for any child party with kids up to about 10 years old.

Colorful, and entertaining performer

We loved having her for our library program. She was so engaging with the children and had a fresh selection of songs and stories to keep everyone happy. I would definitely recommend her for your next event.

About

It has been said there is a 30 million word gap between children that come from low income families vs those that come from high income families which leads to a life long learning deficit📉

My goal is to close the gap by fostering an appreciation for stories and a love for reading through early literacy development. I promote growth mindset and educate through entertainment! Children will learn & practice pre-reading skills, develop an increased vocabulary & attention span, and nurture a lifelong love of reading!📈📚📖🥰✨

I offer FREE pop up reading events around the community but I also am available for private events ie birthday parties, play dates, corporate events, etc. I bring the total Story Time experience, including but not limited to songs, rhymes, stories, and activities wherever you need it!

I do readings for adult events as well.

Please send me an email for more information or to schedule a booking!🧘🏾‍♀️📖💫📚
