Donna Marie Kuczynski, seasoned storyteller, is available
to keep you on the edge of your seat with her skillfully woven
narrations in the northern Ohio area.

"When I first decided to tell a story instead of read one, I wasn't sure about the whole idea; but I remembered loving the stories that my grandmother (Katie Corcoran Barry) told me, so I started with one of hers and added a few details of my own.  Telling stories isn't easier than reading books, storytelling is a completely different art.  Storytelling is a responsive art form. 

Aside from being a wonderful way of sharing time with a child and teaching the value of imagination, storytelling can become a challenging creative outlet for you.  It's your chance to peek into a child's own unique imagination.  If you're lucky, you may get to hear a few stories as well as tell them.

Storytelling is portable, cheap and fun.  A trip to the store could turn into a recipe for adventure.  The mailbox becomes a gateway to another world.  Storytelling is a way to teach children to re-envision the world, to look at it and see not just what it holds, but what else it could hold.  Storytelling is a way to convey imagination more than information.

Long ago, there were professional storytellers who were the oral memory and history of a community.  In our increasingly digital and printed worlds, storytelling is an unfamiliar challenge, but we all tell stories every day in accounts of experiences of feelings."   ~ D.M.K.
