From her entrance as a brave aviator travelling the world to collect stories to the very end of each session she offered in our school, Helen had the children enthralled. Her stories were fun, diverse, and encouraged all the kids to move, sing, and act out with her.

I would highly recommend her for storytelling activities, and can’t wait for her to come back and do more sessions at THCP
