"The children were enthralled and I was able to dovetail your lesson

into a writing assignment that I was planning to do.

The oral tradition truly enhances students listening skills.

We should take advantage of it more often."

Carroll Martin, Educator for more than 30 years, Burton Valley Elementary School (Lafayette, CA)

Ellouise draws children into a story-world that captures imaginations and fuels listener creativity.  Using the ages-old tradition of oral storytelling she brings to life the exploits of animal tricksters, fairy tales and personal childhood stories by using vivid words, her voice, and gestures.


Perfect for library, school and community events.

Ellouise "talks" the children

into the stories.
