Message from Big Ryan


The weather is colder and these are the days I live for! I love the colder temperatures when you can walk around with a light jacket and feel comfortable. As the days get shorter the stories get even better! I love doing teacher trainings and can’t wait to discuss storytelling techniques with the fantastic educators from the Fall River Head Start!

I received the emails below and was really impressed and honored that this person remembered one of my favorite stories to tell; Timmy, after all this time.

I knew when I created the story that it was special, and knowing that it sticks with people over the years makes me so happy!

The Children’s Museum of Greater Fall River has a full day of amazing events on September 30th! Come early and stay ALL DAY to be part of this fantastic day!

I will be there for the morning crowd and ready to make all the little ones laugh their little heads off! Shows at 10:30 and 11:30!

What an amazing summer! This week closes out the summer and I have enjoyed it so much! I am so glad and thankful to everyone who came out to the shows this summer. I finish this summer with a couple of visits to Little Discoveries and Cadence Academy and then it’s time to get into BACK TO SCHOOL MODE!

A man walked into a restaurant and asked for a lobster tail.

The waitress smiles and says “Well… I am no Big Ryan, but let me try. ‘Once there was a handsome lobster named Stan…'”

Great news as I have discussed setting up some Raising A Reader workshop dates with the Paul Pratt Library! Look for those dates coming up soon! This is another insanely busy week, which I love! I can’t wait to see the crew waiting for us at the Plympton Library on Monday afternoon for the Mysteries on the Move!

Tuesday I will be visiting some of the beautiful Cape libraries so make sure to come and hear my tales! First up will be the Bourne Library and then the Mashpee Library on the same day!
