Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This hopeful guide shows a path stretching beyond boundaries, cultures, and classes on a road to understanding that’s paved with love and stories. Reading Kristin Pedemonti’s methods and joyful action touched my heart.” 
    —Lyn Ford, storyteller, teaching artist, and author of Affrilachian Tales
 
“Kristin Pedemonti doesn't only care for the stories—she cares for the people behind the stories. Her warm-hearted enthusiasm extends to the communities that claim their heritage, and her work gives voice to them, instead of telling their tales for them. Kristin is on a rare kind of mission, one that aims to preserve age-old tales in their context; she works to make story and community thrive together. This book is an account of her adventures and experiences, and a truly important, eye-opening resource for the international storytelling community."
    —Csenge Zalka, storyteller, author, and collector of folktales
“With openhearted generosity, Kristin shares not only the story of her amazing journey but complete lesson plans and valuable tips on inter-cultural work. She deepens our understanding of the culture and legends of Belize all the while imparting courage and a can-do philosophy that could truly change the world. Read and be inspired!”
    —Diane Edgecomb, author of A Fire in My Heart: Kurdish Tales
 
“For many years I have admired Kristin’s boundless energy, vision, and commitment, and now we can take a multicultural journey with her. This book offers us a window into her inspiring and life affirming work with the people of Belize.  Her personal stories and connections are powerful, brimming with respect and reverence for their beliefs.  The step-by-step curriculum outlines, folktales, and cultural nuances make this an invaluable resource for educators, storytellers, and anyone working with an indigenous community.”
