Stories in Action offers hands-on storytelling experiences where children create their own original stories, inspired by the natural world around them. These workshops show how storytelling can connect imagination, literacy, and environmental awareness in a way that feels playful, meaningful, and memorable.
Create-Your-Own Story
One-on-One, Group, or Class
In this session, children work to create a complete, original story, similar in style and quality to the three books featured on the Stories in Action website.
Available one-on-one, in groups or with a whole class
Children can choose their own character - preferably a native species- and they can choose a rabbit, dog, cat, or another animal they want to have and love.
Stories all link to conservation and values that make community work.
Each child leaves with a story they created from start to finish. They have this forever and can share it.
Cost
Independent: $99 per young person (up to one hour one-on-one and includes a copy of the book emailed to them)
Small group of 8: $400 (4 stories get produced, the group works in pairs)
School: This includes two days of relief and additional costs based on the number of students whose stories we write up. $20 per story for two young people (children work in pairs); parent assistance is encouraged.
