Drawing a picture while telling a story is a tradition that can be found in cultures around the world—perhaps dating back to early “cave paintings.” No one knows when or where this unique form of storytelling originated, but for generations, “drawing stories” have delighted and informed listeners, and they continue to fascinate audiences today. Renowned storyteller Anne Pellowski has raveled the world, collecting drawing stories from such diverse countries as Indonesia, Korea, Romania, Germany, Sweden, and Japan. Here she presents more than 30 ready-to-tell tales, along with step-by-step directions for the ingenious illustrations that accompany them, and tips for engaging your audience in further learning. An added feature is the inclusion of 5 delightful handkerchief (“hanky panky”) stories, which originated in Europe in the 19th century. A valuable treasury for educators, storytellers and folklorists.

Reviews
2006 Storytelling World Award, Storytelling Anthologies
"This is a wonderful resource that clearly took many years of research and dedication to create." - School Library Journal, April 2006
"A great addition to any professional collection just for the multiculturalism alone, this book is a gem because of the bonus handkerchief stories. Recommended." - Library Media Connection, November/December 2005
"Although many tales here are intended for children, andy audience would be taken with the storyteller who chooses to execute a story in this unique way. Those with an interest in folklore will find it equally appealing. It is worth having on the shelf for the opportunities it offers to learn not only about storytelling around the world, but also about a particular untapped history of storytelling." - VOYA
