Make sure to take note that I will be telling stories at the Plymouth Public Library next Friday!  Come and join us for a fantastic morning full of giggles!

My workshop season begins soon! These fun and interactive workshops meet weekly and explore new and exciting ways to enhance children’s literature through voices, puppets, dialogic reading and using different mediums like flannel and paper!

Very excited to begin this new year!  I began Big Ryan’s Tall Tales back in January of 2000.  I can officially say Big Ryan’s Tall Tales has been spreading joy and telling original tales for 20 years!  Its been an honor and a privilege to be able to visit thousands of schools and libraries and share my tales with children all over!

Here’s to another 20 years!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Keep an eye out for some new dates when I will be telling my tales!

Fair enough…

I will be at the Kingston Library tomorrow at 10:30am!  I look forward to see everyone for my Scary (but not too scary) Tall Tales!  Come and enjoy the morning by getting into the spirit of the season!

I am looking forward to seeing the crowds at the shows this Saturday!  First up is the open house at Kidbridge Learning Center – a new Plymouth Childcare that everyone should check out!  Then I will be heading to Holbrook for an older show in the spirit of the season!  Come and check the shows out!
