THE SELKIEMAID
The word selkie means "seal" in the
Scottish tradition and with those little grey heads bobbing above the waves
watching us with uncannily human eyes, we have come to know them as ‘selkies’.
When they change from seals into humans and dance on the seashores
casting off their creature skins to do uncannily human things we understand
even more about their natures. Today our story is about a selkie's
date with the land and a special child named Aiden whom she met on that
date.
Suitable for GRADES 1 - 5
At Schools in October 2011
THE SNOWQUEEN

BABAR
from the stories by Jean de Brunhoff
Babar
is the famous King of the elephants. His little family, Pom, Flora and
Alexander gather round him urging to tell them all about his past
adventures. We follow him from his childhood all the way up to when he
becomes an adult, as he learns about life, his role as a King and as a
father. Oh what difficult tasks! Babar’s engaging and amusing
adventures present a whole range of highly colorful story lines, that
children understand and that help them as they grow.
Suitable for
Preschool - Grade 3

ARABIAN TALES/LES CONTES D'ARABIES
Silly and
outlandish stories full of good intentions, The Princess and the Mouse and
How the Caliph Became a Stork are funny adventures that share many of the
same qualities of magic and wildness as the Arabian Nights. This is a great
opportunity to expose your students to other kinds of storytelling, a
different culture and ways of seeing the world through new eyes. A
caliph wants to fly and a princess is afraid to speak but a fast talking
mouse and a forest nymph help them to solve the problems of the day.
