Mama the Storyteller: A Companion for Storytellers Vol. 1

By Sr. Stella Sabina

Mama gave me a chance many children of today do not get; to sit around the fire and hear their mothers narrate traditional stories, not from books but from the heart. She changed voices of the different characters and sometimes even sang to bring the stories to life. I had to learn how to pay attention, as there were no books for reference later. "If you do not pay attention and think about what I am telling you, you will have nothing to teach your children when you become a parent," Mama said over and over. She taught me how to think and figure out what I needed to learn from the stories she told. I hope storytellers will be enriched by the stories Mama told me when I was growing up, and those I have written using her methodology. To be a storyteller you need a rich bank of stories on various themes of life. My intention is to enrich storytellers, and to keep Mama's memory, she is the best teacher I have ever had. Each story has an introduction to let my readers know why Mama told me that story, or why I wrote that story. There is room for creativity, to bring the stories to life and suit the age group you are telling the story to. All the stories in this book are educational and can be used for entertainment as well. I hope you will enjoy and continue passing on the message you derive from each story to everyone you meet. Be happy always.
