We Are All Made of Stories with Ellie Royce

15 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -

Stories, stories, stories. Your story. My story. OUR story. We read them watch them, hear them, LIVE them. I write stories, mainly for kids (but hey, anyone is allowed to read them!) I help people find their stories - especially but not only - older people. I share stories and stories about stories, because they weave us into families, communities and cultures, because they are the way we make meaning out of our world, and because they bring me joy. I hope they bring you joy too. See, I can't tell you how to live your life, but I can share a story- and maybe it's just the one you need. We are ALL made of stories… what’s yours?

What's Your Story - From the Year 2020- Comeback Crew, Pandemic Launches and Food Stories with Danielle Dufayet

September 15, 2021 04:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MB

Gosh, 2020 was a year. But look, so has 2021 been, right? For Kidlit creators with books releasing, it's just  a different world since COVID-19 impacted most of us,  and the funny thing is- this discussion is still (sadly) very relevant.  You may have heard me speak of my Great Technical Meltdown...or not. In any case, that's why this episode is almost a year late being posted. However, what I found talking to Danielle Dufayet (click here for her info) is that Kidlit, Creativity and  Communi...
