When I first started thinking about storytelling when my daughter was little I had wonderful intentions but couldn't think of a thing to say! I didn't have a lot of confidence and didn’t trust my ideas.
Now I know that anything that I made up would have delighted her to no end. This is why I created Twelve Little Tales - to offer inspiration and a place to start from for storytelling with the littles or as creative writing prompts for older children. |
The images below are examples from several past tales- these are all the components that you will find in the Digital account (each storytelling subscription includes the digital account). Visit the subscription page to subscribe or the shop to get just one.

Testimonials from happy tellers of Tales

"Twelve Little Tales is a refreshing and magical invitation into the world of story for young children. I used the tales as creative writing prompts for my 2nd and 3rd graders. They loved diving into a magical land through Marna’s lovely storytelling and then being given the invitation to take over as storyteller as they chose their favorite of various story starters on beautifully illustrated story-starters. They produced more rich and imaginative writing than with the average journal prompt or story starter."

"The Twelve Little Tales brings so much warmth into our home. We read the stories and enjoy displaying all the amazing cards that come with it. My son already recognizes the package when we get it in the mail and he gets so excited! What I love the most about it is that we get to enjoy these stories in our native language (Spanish).” -C
