Hi! I'm Marna -a mother of two, a former Waldorf Early Childhood and Handwork teacher, spinner of tales, maker of art, and worker of fiber.
Thank you for visiting the land of Twelve Little Tales! |
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. Our children are so eager to imagine! |

"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."

Thank you so much again for sharing your creativity with us. I have found so much inspiration through your stories each month.. even my husband has! We tell a story each night to our 6 year old and it has helped our bedtime routine become connecting and effortless.. our daughter asks us every night for a story and we are becoming pretty clever, thanks in large part to your stories ❤ I am forever grateful - K

“Your tales are a rare combination of delightful characters, endearing story lines and beautiful artwork. The children that I work with are always excited when I pull one of your stories out. Thank you for creating such a lovely opportunity for connection between adult and child through storytelling! " Melinda K. - Preschool teacher
“I just printed my first story and if you are like me and always liked Twelve Tales but never ordered, don't hesitate any longer. I knew it would be beautiful but now I know I am going to be subscribing for a long time. They are just amazing.” - I
"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
