Story telling has been a crucial way to teach new concepts and relay information to both children and adults since the beginning of time. I offer FREE pop up reading events around the community but I am also available for private events ie birthday parties, play dates, corporate events, etc. I bring the total Story Time experience, including but not limited to songs, rhymes, stories, and activities wherever you need it! Please send me an email for more information or to schedule a booking!🧘🏾♀️📖💫📚
I am so glad I had the Traveling Storyteller for my daughter's halloween party. She was the highlight of the party for sure. I was really worried about keeping 20+ 8 year old girls entertained for 3 hours and she made the time fly by quickly. She was very flexible and knew how to read and adjust to the girls interests and attention span! We can't wait to have her back again!
Response from The Traveling Storyteller:
Thank you so much!! We had a great time. That was actually my first time doing improv while the children acted out skits but it was so much fun, the girls taught me a new skill! Many thanks to you and those wonderful young ladies🤗
Ngo (the traveling storyteller) was just amazing. She had 15 5-8 y/o hyped up on Halloween candy thoroughly engrossed in stories, dance, and play. She brought music, lights, and all kinds of cool little surprises. Her costume was super fun too.
But not only is she incredibly talented as a entertainer, but she is also incredibly easy to work with and really helpful throughout the event corralling kids and even helping pass around cup cakes, etc at the end. She understands kids parties can be a little chaotic (and I misjudged the timing) but she remained super accommodating and generous with her time. We’ve had magicians and balloon guys for previous parties but The Traveling Storyteller was so much more unique and captivating for the kids. And while she entertained by herself in our basement, the adults got to hang out upstairs.
Just an awesome person and performer. Would recommend as a special guest for school events and for any child party with kids up to about 10 years old.
It was a great addition to our celebration at the club. She was very engaging with the kids
The Traveling Storyteller came to our Kindercare Preschool. It was great. She was so engaged with the children. They had a great time.
We loved having her for our library program. She was so engaging with the children and had a fresh selection of songs and stories to keep everyone happy. I would definitely recommend her for your next event.

The children at my daycare had a wonderful time with the traveling story teller. They didn’t movement songs with shaker eggs and rhymes scarves. They love all the books and the bubble machine.
Response from The Traveling Storyteller:
Thank you so much for booking The Traveling Storyteller!🧘🏾♀️📖✨ I appreciate your honest feedback, thank you. The children and I had a wonderful time reading, rhyming, & dancing together. Thanks again!
She was awesome with the children. So very helpful keeping the children entertained. Looking forward to our next event.
She was so great, the kids were all so hooked and entertained. Before she arrive my husband and we’re thinking we desperately needed salvation with all the kids running around, Weiss a lame atmosphere going on. She got there with all her gear and quickly turned it around. We will be booking again!
Response from The Traveling Storyteller:

This storyteller went above and beyond. She has a lovely, kind voice. Her costume was vibrant. She engaged kids of all ages. We had a larger crowd than was expected and she managed it well. All the parents continually remarked about her performance. I would book her again, many times.
Response from The Traveling Storyteller:
Thanks so much! I appreciate your honest feedback🥰 I really appreciate your party setup, it was amazing! And the children were perfect- the ideal storytelling scenario. Thanks again for booking The Traveling Storyteller🧘🏾♀️📖✨ I look forward to reading with you all again!🤩
Ran into this gem in the community and boy am I glad I did! I’ve been able to utilize her more than once. The first thing I automatically noticed was how she just had this positive, kind of bubbly, “can-do” way about her and you can tell she absolutely loves everything surrounding children. During my pregnancy I decided to take her up on her offer of services for the first time. This was during the very grim time of the beginning of the pandemic (Feb/March 2020) where I personally did not have a lot of certainty about many things and had stress beyond measure. She lifted my spirits and everyone she encountered. Even the medical staff ranted about her skills. At my request, She told stories of African folklore, while utilizing music and somehow made me relax with her naturally rhythmic cadence. It’s hard to not hang off of her every word. This was my first experience of the sort in adulthood. I typically think of only children when it comes to story telling but lucky for all of us she has something for the whole family!
As a child I personally loved reading so I of course wanted to pass this down to my son but in a fun, new way. My son, like many his age, is a natural busy body, but Ngo truly takes everyone, on a magical ride through her elegant use of language, she literally could do voice overs if she wanted. She has a way of getting every kid in the room excited about learning and reading in general. She does different themes, she can elaborate and build off of what you have in mind or if you’re like me (haven’t quite tapped into your creative side), she can even come up with something just for you! She’s great at the planning, keeping you in the loop and all about the execution. She included planned activities for the kiddos aside from the main piece of the story telling and even had goodies to match. Who doesn’t love that? This really helped the kids remember to be social butterflies and to have fun . I’ve attended two of her virtual events, but I am not sure if she still does that now so I would check with her. I just love how you can see and even hear how passionate she is about what she does. Her obvious love for the community is an added bonus. Can’t wait to book again!

It has been said there is a 30 million word gap between children that come from low income families vs those that come from high income families which leads to a life long learning deficit📉
My goal is to close the gap by fostering an appreciation for stories and a love for reading through early literacy development. I promote growth mindset and educate through entertainment! Children will learn & practice pre-reading skills, develop an increased vocabulary & attention span, and nurture a lifelong love of reading!📈📚📖🥰✨
