I have always enjoyed the brisk weather of January – although this January has been pretty mild – the only thing that I have to begrudgingly put up with is having to deal with the snow forcing the school or library to close and having to reschedule. I loved snow days as a kid… somehow they lost their luster when adulthood came rushing in. I still make the best out of the havoc the snow causes but still, I miss being a child and enjoying the bitter cold day of freedom that the snow allowed us.
I will continue the Building Stories Workshop on Saturday at the Plymouth Library at 1:00pm. Call (508) 830-4250 to register today! There are only a couple of slots left so please register as soon as you possibly can!
Also, if you would like a show in the new year please give me a call at (508) 641-5336.
Here is the storytelling schedule for this week:
Please check the Upcoming Shows page for more information on all of these shows. All of the Raising a Reader programs are being funded by the South Shore Community Action Council and are an off-shoot of my Building Stories from the years prior. They should be a lot of fun and will give plenty for the little ones to do! Come on by and have a blast and learn a few techniques for telling tales at home!

Receiving emails like this never gets old:
“Hi Ryan,
I’m a nanny to two little ones and awhile back we finally saw you at the Corn Festival in Norwell. I wanted to say that your performance was amazing! These kids have a hard time making it through a regular story time or class, but when they saw you, they had the best time. I have never seen them so into a performance before! They were laughing and dancing along. I loved seeing them enjoying themselves so much and am excited that I have the opportunity to take the younger one to another of your performances in December. I just wanted to let you know that you have a great show and that the kids absolutely loved you.
Thanks!
Stephanie”
Thank you, Stephanie, for taking the time to brighten my day with such a thoughtful and wonderful note. Please accept my gracious and humbling thank you!

Writing the title of this post felt odd enough… 2016! I have now been telling my tales for 16 years. That’s quite the accomplishment. Allow me to take a moment to feel some pride! I’ve been able to turn something I love to do into a way of life – and I love every second of it!

A new year, a new adventure! I look forward to another year of being Big Ryan and sharing my stories with the children all over! Woo Hoo! Now, who had Chinese food?

I am shocked there is no snow yet – even more shocked that the days have been sporting 50 degree weather! I like the snow but I know it sometimes plays havoc with my schedule so it’s always a conundrum for me – my love of the snow or my love for things to continue swimmingly.
The Plymouth Library will be hosting Building Stories in January on Saturdays at 1:00pm. Call (508) 830-4250 to register today! There are only a few slots so please register as soon as you possibly can to secure a slot.
