Virtual- "Jaws, Paws & Claws: Animal Wisdom Tales"

Presented by LuAnn Adams

Crocodiles, Tigers and Bears and more! Ancient peoples in cultures all over the world wove their lessons about life into their Porquoi/How & Why Animal Explanation stories. The animals were often their closest neighbors & were their food, friends and foes. Into their tales they wove their wisdom, love, laughter with ways to resolve conflicts with dialogue. The animals were given human problems & the abilities to talk and resolve conflicts (often in hilarious ways)! Inspiring, uplifting & joyous with lots of audience participation! These wonderful stories feature problems that children face today such as: how to make a friend, how unity can a turn the tables on a bully and making courageous choices in difficult circumstances. Artist uses puppets, props, visuals, music and lots of audience participation to bring these multi-cultural stories 'to life!'"
