Craft of Storytime Featured in Children’s Institute Video
The newest video from last month’s ABC Children’s Institute features bookseller, storyteller, and TEDx speaker Anastasia McKenna, aka “Miss Anastasia,” of The Twig Book Shop in San Antonio, Texas. The video of the featured talk “The Craft of Storytime” is the ninth in a series made possible by a grant from bestselling author James Patterson. In it, McKenna offers booksellers a wealth of tips and tricks for creating the best possible read-aloud events.
