A Story, A Story Read-Aloud

Today’s Art Apart Activity: A Story, A Story Read-Aloud

Find a comfy seat and listen to Ms. Odile read A Story, A Story by Gail E. Haley.

Once, all the stories in the world belonged to Nyame, the Sky God. He kept them in a box beside his throne. But Ananse, the Spider man, wanted them – and caught three sly creatures to get them. This story of how we got our own stories to tell is adapted from an African folktale. (Read with permission from Simon & Schuster.)
