I love this booklet. It was through a Carole Joy Seid conference that I had become aware if this out of print gem. Thankfully by the expressed permission of Michelle van Loon, I was able to adapt the booklet for a new generation of home educators. The booklet is called “Tell Me A Story” which is largely Michelle van Loon’s From Heart to Page” booklet of journal prompts with some minor changes. Please consider taking a look at the booklet “Tell Me A Story” at www.TellMeAStoryAgain.weebly.com.
