      What a connecting point to listen to stories come to life from the vocal gymnastics of the tellers. How the worlds they tell about come to life. Watching and listening to them as they massage the inner cortexes for the journey. Waiting for this years Storytelling Festival to spring to life. Appreciating the many years that the FPL has made this possible for myself and my children. We have appreciated this option to television and the movies especially with the many tellers in our community that have presented one time or another for my children's birthdays, graduations and our life stories at our family reunions. What a gift to anyone you can give which has lasting effects and memories. Keep up the good work FPL and please continue the living spoken word art which comes with each of the tellers you have had over the years. What a blessing for the FPL-Flint to have such a wonderful event for the community. Enriching childrens lives through the art of reading. Thank You so much. FREE 2 C Collapse

      What a joy it was to hear Robyn Henry, a local teller, at the Flint Public Library tonight! Robyn shared insightful stories about a turtle, a frog as well as fresh strawberries. I am so happy the library offered some Native American programming. Robyn annouced that she and other Flint area storytellers will be performing again at the library for "Tellabrations" on the 22nd. I plan to be back for that. Collapse
