The Magic of Storytelling

"If there is one universal thread that binds all people together, it is their need for stories." - Lisa Lipkin

Bedtime storytelling could feel like a chore, but here are three great reasons to do so:
1. It provides your own imagination a workout - more so when you include sensory details, setting, conflict, twists and dialogue.
2. It forces you to turn off your inner editor - please improvise and let the character lead you forward.
3. You have a captive and honest audience.
