I really enjoyed the workshop. There was such a great buzz in the room and lots of captivated participants. I loved the way you got people using and challenging their learning style to remember the story. Having us then tell stories to each other really got us thinking and talking about how we connect to stories, subjects and characters and how that integrates with our experiences. You present in a very natural unpretentious way and are not afraid to show who you are and your style naturally encourages others to do so. The books are a fabulous resource, I'm ready and rearing to include lots of new material in my Mother Goose and  early intervention programs, and in my consult visits to Kinders and childcare.
