Who are The Whitman Tellers?

We are storytellers...

In our tandem storytelling performances, we enjoy sharing lively folktales from around the world. We weave music, movement, and plenty of audience participation together, as we encourage listeners to jump up and join in the fun! We enjoy performing for family audiences wherever our travels take us...schools, libraries, community centers, festival stages, parks, trolley cars, backyards, living rooms...wherever a story is needed!

We are educators...

With two decades of experience as international educators and storytellers, we are passionate about the role of storytelling in the classroom. We believe that each child has a unique story to tell and that an essential part of our job as educators is to help children share their stories with the world. We offer workshops for teachers, students, and parents on the many ways that storytelling can enrich learning, both at school and at home.

We are authors...

We recently teamed with Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald to write a how-to guide for storytelling in the classroom called Teaching With Story: Classroom Connections to Storytelling. The book pairs our thoughts about the power of story in teaching with 20 easy-to-learn folktales you can tell right away.
