An active imagination is the only passport young listeners will need for this whirlwind global journey. Stories from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America will teach children about the character, customs and oral traditions of diverse communities the world over. Upon request, Betty Ann will customize her story selections to meet specific needs.
Note: Pair this program for younger students with All Together Now…Bringing the Stories Home (for older audiences) by scheduling both programs on the same day for the two back-to-back price.
Betty Ann Wylie
Born into the storytelling tradition of the Deep South, Betty Ann Wylie was entertained and nurtured by the captivating stories of her parents and grandparents. Read to by her mother from early childhood, she developed a life-long love of books, oral tradition, and storytelling of all kinds.
A founding member of the Southern Order of Storytellers, Wylie is acclaimed for performances filled with stories, poetry, songs, and audience participation. She has performed extensively at festivals, schools, universities, in corporate settings, for civic and religious groups, and in libraries and museums. She mesmerizes audiences with tales beguilingly related, but with the dramatic gestures and voice changes of a born actress.
In 2000, she received the Outstanding Alumna Award for Distinguished Career from the Agnes Scott College Alumnae Association. She has also recorded two CDs of stories, the Parents' Choice award-winning "Mother Goose from Morning Till Night" and the newly-released "Pass It On: A Storyteller's Journey."
