Wake up and shake up with this professional storyteller's easy-to-use sourcebook of chants, songs, action stories, riddles, jokes, tongue twisters, and participation games. These "two-minute miracles" are just some of the tricks that Naomi Baltuck uses to keep her young audiences creatively involved during storytelling sessions. Music is included, but you don't need talent - just enthusiasm. Naomi provides all the practical storytelling tips on body movement, creative dramatics, and audience management needed to lead any size group through ridiculous hand and foot motions, silly faces, call and response, echo songs, and snappy choruses. Do you know "On Top of Spaghetti" or "The Princess Pat"? How about "Peanut Butter" or "Hi, My Name's Joe"? There are over thirty such favorites here, many not available before. They were collected around the campfire, or borrowed from fellow storytellers, or created by Naomi herself. They are sure to delight kids from ages 5 to 14 - and they will be cherished by teachers, librarians, scout leaders, camp counselors, parents, entertainers, and anyone who enjoys having fun with children. Naomi's audio cassette of Crazy Gibberish is available too. Groups can sing right along with it, or leaders can use it to dispel performance anxieties and shore up their routines.

The Healing Heart provides powerful examples of the use of stories and storytelling in encouraging resiliency, empathy, respect, and healing. These engaging books contain stories, and narratives about the use of the stories in activities with different populations (children, teens, those with disabilities, seniors, inmates, etc.) or which address specific social or community problems (addictions, poverty, violence, racism, environmental degra-dation, homelessness, abuse). The books are a collective effort containing the expertise of more than 60 storytellers and health professionals who illustrate the power of story in moving others to commitment and action, in building self-esteem and mutual respect. The Healing Heart ~ Families focuses on families, dealing specifically with healing through story, health promotion, disease prevention, early childhood intervention, children with medical problems, adopting families, schools, sexual identities, grief, and spiritual healing. The Healing Heart ~ Communities focuses on community-building, with sections on youth, violence prevention, poverty, domestic violence, substance abuse and addiction, racism, elders, culture, environmental protection, homelessness, and community development. Allison Cox is a therapist and Prevention Specialist, in Tacoma, Washington, with 20 years experience as a professional storyteller, and is a founder of the Healing Story Alliance—part of the National Storytelling Network. David Albert is a storyteller, writer, and Senior Planner and Policy Analyst with the Washington State Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse, and a contributor to Spinning Tales, Weaving Hope (New Society, 2002).
