We Are Storytellers- Folktales From Around The World

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We are all storytellers! Open up our treasure chest of folktales, fairy tales, tall tales, and myths, both traditional and new.

Welcome to Storytellers!

Stories are what make the world go 'round. The stories we love best live in us forever.

Delve into the land of stories by uncovering a treasured family story by interviewing a loved one and writing that story, participating in a Tall Tale Character Parade, bringing with you as much outlandishness and fun as possible, writing a "Pourquoi Tale" and making a mask of the myth's main character to bring it to life, making action figure cards for your favorite trickster, and creating a colorful map based on a beloved favorite fairy tale, complete with a compass rose and legend.

We Are Storytellers gives kids a chance to learn more about the traditions of oral and written storytelling, the cultural influences around genres of stories, and the thrill of creating a never-before-told story.

We Are Storytellers combines hands-on activities with great picture books - books such as How the Raven Stole the Sun and Martina the Beautiful Cockroach - inspiring kids to read and learn about stories from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Folktales and family stories

Folktales are the people's stories, passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. The folktale tradition of telling stories out loud remains strong throughout the world. Stories are being heard, retold, remembered, rediscovered.

Through shared reading, writing, storytelling, and other creative activities, let's explore the stories of our elders that have been told and re-told in your family for generations. We'll also give kids a chance to write Who I Am poems that express how they are connected to their families, culture, and community. The guide includes recommended books, instructions and a supply list for each activity, and suggestions for sharing children's writing and storytelling.

Folktales tell us who we are

In this video clip, children's author Carmen Agra Deedy ( Martina the Beautiful Cockroach) talks about why folktales matter so deeply. "They're meant to teach what that culture believes. And what's beautiful about them is that the really wonderful ones always have risen to the top and then travel the world."

Tall tales

Tall tales are stories may sound true ... but they sure do feature lots of exaggeration and action that is a bit hard to believe! Popular tall tale characters from American folklore include John Henry, Pecos Bill, Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, and Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind Crockett.

Through shared reading, writing, storytelling, and other creative activities, kids explore the humor and hyperbole in tall tales by writing an original tall tale about someone in their own family. The guide includes recommended books, instructions and a supply list for each activity, and suggestions for sharing children's writing and storytelling.

Tall tale heroes

Children's book illustrator Jerry Pinkney ( Uncle Remus: The Complete Tales) grew up hearing both classic fairy tales and American folktales. He is particularly drawn to the tall tale heroes in African American storytelling, with characters like John Henry.

Myths, legends, and pourquoi tales

Myths are stories told aloud that were passed down from generation to generation for thousands of year, to help ancient people make sense of the natural world. Although many myths feature gods and goddesses, many cultures also have nature myths called pourquoi tales that explain how things in nature came to be. Legends are traditional stories about a real place and time in the past. The characters often take on fictional qualities as the story is told a retold.

Through shared reading, writing, and creative activities, kids will write, illustrate, and share their own original nature myth (and try some mask-making). We'll also give kids an opportunity to write a letter to local heroes in their own community who they want to honor and thank. The guide includes recommended books, instructions and a supply list for each activity, and suggestions for sharing children's writing and storytelling.

The strength of everyday people

Children's author and historian Tonya Bolden ( Facing Frederick: The Life of Frederick Douglass, a Monumental American Man) reflects on reading about legends like Mary McLeod Bethune and realizing that, "... maybe I have some legends in my family. They didn't make it into the history books." Her grandfather was a laborer who worked hard for 50 cents a day. "And it takes a kind of genius to do the same with less or maybe to do more with less. So it made me appreciate the genius of the folk."

Trickster tales

Anansi the Spider, Raven, Coyote, and Brer Rabbit - do you know these famous tricksters? Trickster tales are funny, with animals playing pranks on other animals, and satisfying endings where the tables are turned on the trickster! Different cultures use trickster tales to teach lessons about how to behave and treat other people.

Through shared reading, writing, and creative activities, kids will get to know tricksters from around the world and bring their favorite trickster characters to life through original poems, mask-making, and illustrated trickster action cards. The guide includes recommended books, instructions and a supply list for each activity, and suggestions for sharing children's writing and storytelling.

Yuyi Morales: Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book

In celebration of Global Read Aloud 2019, children's author and illustrator Yuyi Morales ( Dreamers) reads her trickster tale (and counting book), Just a Minute, featuring Señor Calavera and Grandma Beetle.

Fairy tales

"Once upon a time ... " Most kids are very familiar with fairy tales - make-believe stories with magical elements like spells, princes and princesses, dragons, trolls, fairy godmothers, talking animals, and witches.

Through shared reading, writing, and creative activities, kids will learn about fairy tales from around the world and create a fairy tale map, a fairy tale timeline, and a fairy tale catalog full of magical items. The guide includes recommended books, instructions and a supply list for each activity, and suggestions for sharing children's writing and storytelling.

Marilyn Singer: Mirror, Mirror

Children's poet Marilyn Singer ( Mirror, Mirror) reads three fairy tale poems crafted in an original poetic form - the reverso - that reads one way forward and another backward.

Children's books and activities

Celebrate Geography Awareness Week in November - and all year long! Do you know any kids who are fascinated by maps, the geography of the world, exploring their own town or city, or discovering other cultures? We've gathered up a great collection of books, activities, apps, and websites for learning all about geography, travel, and cultures.

You may also want to explore the writing, oral storytelling, poetry, mapmaking, and other creative activities featured in our new resource We Are Storytellers: Exploring Multicultural Folktales, Fairy Tales, and Myths.

Try pairing fiction with nonfiction books and exploring different genres (like poetry and biographies) and formats (like graphic novels and audio books). You'll be creating your own "text sets" - collections of texts focused on a specific topic, such as geography, travel, and cultures. Reading widely in this way helps children build background knowledge, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.

Whether your Mighty Girl is a member of the LGBTQ community, or an LGBTQ ally, these books will show her that her experience is not unique: millions of people stand with her.
"I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated, and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values." - Ellen Degeneres
One of the founding principles of A Mighty Girl is that girls of all ages should be able to find books that reflect who they are: their background, their interests, and their dreams. But when a girl identifies as lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or queer/questioning - or someone in her life does - it can be challenging to find stories that reflect her experience.

With that in mind - and in celebration of June's Pride Month - we're sharing our favorite books featuring lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) characters. Whether your Mighty Girl is a member of the LGBTQ community, or an LGBTQ ally, these books will show her that her experience is not unique: millions of people stand with her.

To show teens the meaning and history behind the Pride month celebrations they see around them today, check out the book Pride: Celebrating Diversity and Community for ages 14 and up. You can also introduce teens to the some of the little-known LGBTQ lives in history in the book Queer, There, and Everywhere: 23 People Who Changed The World, which is also for ages 14 and up.

Mighty Girl Books Featuring LGBTQ Characters

These books featuring positive portrayals of LGBTQ characters and families, and show that sexual identity and orientation are only a part of the whole of any person.

Guidance for LGBTQ Girls

If your Mighty Girl is lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning - or she knows someone who is - these books provide guidance, support, and encouragement as she navigates her way to a confident sense of self.

Parenting an LGBTQ Child

Parents often aren't sure how to respond to their child's orientation - it can be hard enough to see your child becoming a sexual being, let alone realizing that their orientation may be different than your own. Parents may wrestle with their own feelings when their child comes out, or worry about how to make sure their child receives the support she needs if she faces discrimination, bullying, or even violence. These books for parents will help guide you in being your child's best ally.

Raising An Ally: Inclusive Books About Family and Sexuality

Parents who want to raise children as LGBTQ allies often look for books that incorporate LGBTQ people into a general discussion of sexuality, family, and love. By including LGBTQ characters - without the story treating them as anything unusual - these books normalize LGBTQ issues and provide inclusive definitions of love, both romantic and family.

With the struggle for LGBTQ rights and acceptance so prominent right now, it has never been more important to present our kids with books that show LGBTQ characters, not just as representatives of a community, but as people with their own lives, struggles, and triumphs. By introducing your Mighty Girl - whether she is LGBTQ or not - these books, you're doing more than encouraging her to accept the LGBTQ community: you're working towards a day when acceptance will just be understood, and every person can feel free to express their identity with pride.

Founded in 1916, the Cultural Gardens are unique to the world. They represent the diversity and multiculturalism that is Cleveland, and bring to life the Gardens' mission, "peace through mutual understanding." They also tell the story of our region's immigrants.

Depicted in the gardens are the poets, philosophers, peacemakers, composers, scientists and others who have contributed to world culture. Also featured in the gardens are symbolic sculptures and replicas of or tributes to sacred monuments in other lands.

The area offers opportunities to learn and explore, and a place to relax, enjoy nature, walk or ride a bike. You also can stroll along Doan Brook, which runs through the Gardens. Visitors are always welcome.
EDUCATORS: The Cultural Gardens Federation offers a number of resources for you. We can arrange for speakers from the different nationalities represented in the Gardens, and presentations about the Cultural Gardens in general and how they represent Cleveland's immigrant and cultural history. We also offer in-person tours for any grade level and can have representatives from the gardens available to talk about their countries and the icons and cultural symbols in their gardens. Currently, in-person events are subject to COVID restrictions (generally speaking, groups of 10 or less are permitted to gather), but online meetings are very possible. Call 216-220-3075 to set something up! If you are interested in reserving one of the gardens for a private event, such as a wedding, call the city of Cleveland's Special Events Department at 216-664-2484. The CCGF cannot reserve a garden for you. Check out this video which shows all of our gardens in their glory, along with our new Centennial Peace Plaza:
The Federation

The Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation is non-profit, 501c3 organization that represents all of the gardens and acts as a liaison between sponsoring ethnic communities and government and institutional partners. The Federation has been instrumental in preserving, maintaining and promoting the Cultural Gardens.

The CCGF board and staff oversee planning for the gardens. They partner with the city of Cleveland, which owns the park, and many other organizations such as University Circle Inc. and Holden Parks Trust.

Learn more about the Cleveland Cultural Gardens from the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History.

With the rise in anti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes in the U.S. -rooted in historical antecedents of anti-Asian violence and exclusion-educators have an important role to play in centering Asian American communities in the classroom. Regardless of our student populations, the stories we highlight in our curriculum can result in a recognition of a shared humanity across differences.

Asian Americans have been in what we call the United States since before its inception, with Filipino sailors coming to what is now Louisiana in the 1750s. Yet xenophobia has followed Asian communities from the beginning-through discourse, such as phrases like " yellow peril" or " dusky peril" referring to Asian immigrants, and through racist policies such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and later the Immigration Act of 1917, which created the " Asiatic Zone of Barred Citizenship," entirely excluding immigrants from numerous countries from the Middle East to the Pacific Islands.

Despite their long history in the United States, Asian Americans have faced and continue to face hate crimes and racism rooted in a larger historical trope that no matter how long communities have been here, they are "perpetual foreigners." The research on identity-based bullying demonstrates that Asian Americans continually face incidents rooted in this notion of foreign-ness. For example, Asian Americans are often belittled for their names, the languages they speak, the food they eat, or their appearances. One in four Asian American young people report having been bullied, with most of these instances occurring at school.

Educators have an important role to play in interrupting such forms of hate.

The following books can offer an entry point to humanizing Asian American communities and centering their stories as part of the larger American story. Each subsection counteracts the myth of the "perpetual foreigner" and could help interrupt forms of bullying that have been documented towards Asian Americans.

Elementary School Resources

Books About Names

A typical form of bullying that occurs relates to Asian Americans being teased about their names or the languages they speak.

Always Anjali tells the story of a young girl, Anjali, who changes her name to Julie after she's bullied for having a different name by other kids at school. The story follows Anjali in finding pride in her name and standing up to those who seek to belittle her.

The Name Jar tells the story of a recent immigrant from Korea, Unhei, and her fear about what the other children will call her. A classmate learns the meaning of her name and helps the class pronounce it correctly.

Books About Foods

Another form of bullying relates to the foods children bring to school and the resultant shame children may feel about their cultural heritage. Stereotypes about what Asian Americans eat abound. Recently, a friend who is a middle school educator shared an incident from his classroom in which one student asked an Asian American boy in the Zoom chat if he eats dogs.

No Kimchi for Me and The Pho Team normalize Asian American foods and introduce them to readers of any age. The book My Family is from Different Places highlights families with mixed racial heritage and also includes a poignant incident of a girl feeling bad that her friends are not trying a dish her mom has brought to school.

Such resources can help educators broach these subjects and lead discussions with young ones about the power of respect and empathy.

Books About Appearance

Many Asian Americans report being bullied for the shape of their eyes, and internalized dislike for eye shape can exist in Asian communities, as well. A new book, Eyes that Kiss in the Corners, shares a young girl's pride in the shape of her eyes.

Ridicule and internally felt shame can also occur with regard to facial hair. The book Laxmi's Mooch offers a nice counterpoint to this.

Books Centering Asian Americans in U.S. History

The struggles to combat exclusion and the fight for equal rights can be introduced even in the early grades through stories that approach issues of injustice gently.

A Fish for Jimmy, inspired by the author's family story, takes place in an internment camp for Japanese Americans during the 1940s. Taro sneaks out of the camp every night to catch a fish for his brother Jimmy to help make him stronger. The note to readers contextualizes Japanese incarceration for educators or parents to help children understand this painful chapter in U.S. history.

The book Good Fortune: My Journey to Gold Mountain tells Li Keng Wong's story of being detained at Angel Island Immigration Station as a young child arriving from China to the U.S. in the 1930s.

And Journey for Justice: The Story of Larry Itliong introduces young readers to the story of Filipino-American Larry Itliong, who co-founded the United Farm Workers with leaders such as Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta to fight for the labor rights of the essential farmworkers who feed the nation.

Books for Middle Grades

Several books for the middle grades humanize the stories of Asian American communities and draw from diverse cultural heritages to better situate the lived realities of the protagonists.

A four-part series by Sayantani DasGupta, Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond, introduces a South Asian American protagonist who faces bullying in her school for her heritage and for her mom passing out Indian sweets for Halloween but goes on to heroic feats in this intergalactic adventure.

In Kelly Yang's books, such as the Front Desk, Three Keys and Room to Dream, an Asian American teen balances life in the U.S. and helping her immigrant parents run their family-owned motel. The stories weave together immigrant solidarity (the family helps house new immigrants in empty rooms) and teen coming-of-age angst of finding a path different from her parents.

Many other middle-grade novels that center Asian American realities have also emerged in recent years for educators and parents to add to their collections or library lists.

For many young people, the classroom is the first site of encounter for realities outside their own. By introducing stories that humanize groups that have been targeted historically and today-whether during designated months like Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month or beyond-educators can contribute to creating greater respect for diversity and equal treatment.

Collection Drives

Socks, underwear, and school supplies are three of the most needed items for children living in poverty. You can help ensure that these basic essentials are something a child always has by holding a sock, underwear and school supply drive for Shoes and Clothes for Kids.

A volunteer will work with you to identify the best time frame for your drive, help you determine how you will promote the drive and obtain a collection box and signage from SC4K for you to display at your collection site. For more information, email collectiondrives@sc4k.org.
