The Power of Word
Stories! Pen to paper, ear to ear or heart to heart – stories help us to laugh and cry; express joy and give voice to grief. They bring healing and clarity, understanding and decisiveness. They can help us honour the past, have courage in the present, and move us forward.
To this day I sing ‘Little Bunny Fu Fu’ and ‘The Skunk Song’ with an American twang!
Emma KynastonAmazing energy. What a wiggler! I wish I could take her everywhere I go!
Ian WhybrowI was seven when I first heard Renita tell stories. I remember them to this day!
