Program

Stories & Songs to Celebrate Girls & Women. Great in March for Women's History Month or anytime. Multicultural stories of heroines provide entertainment and food for thought. "Little Daughter" charms young listeners as a red-riding-hood type who just doesn't need a deus-ex-machina woodcutter to save her--She does it with her wits and song! Hear about Amaterasu-Omikami, the Japanese sun goddess; Old Sally Cato--tall-tale gal of the American pioneer in a hilarious story of besting the giant, Billy, Bally, Bully; Atalanta, who was left to die because she was a girl, then became the greatest runner. Best of all is the children's in-the-moment enactment of Robert Munsch's The Paper Bag Princess, in funny wigs and costumes. Selections from these stories made for your audience. Includes music sung, strummed and fiddled.
