These memories inspire Erica's powerful stories. She tells to honor the past and bless the future. WHEN ANIMALS COULD TALK - In Africa and Native America Raven, Coyote, Rabbit, and Anansi, reveal the tricky wisdom of the animal people. In Asia, Tortoise and Dragon show the way. In real life, an elephant named Dorothy, a canary named Marybelle, or a goat named Zlateh save lives and lead us to a new way of seeing. K-6 THERE'S A HER AND A HE IN HERO - What does it take to be a hero or a 'shero?’ Stars are popular people. Stars work hard at their skills, but heroes are willing to risk everything to help others. In stories from around the world, boys and girls discover the difference between stardom and heroism. Even children can become heroes and 'sheroes', by being willing to help others. 3-8 SHALOM - Ancient tales from Jewish cultures around the world show children that stories are bridges for understanding diversity. Join Sheherazade, the Fools of Chelm, Mistress Cockroach, and brave Ya'ish, as they experience marvel, magic, mischief and wisdom. K-6 MOTHER EARTH NEEDS YOU - Multicultural tales teach living in balance with our surroundings. The secret of Sky Woman's woven basket and the salmon returning to the place of their birth teach children we are all one family. Even the water and the invisible wind are our relatives. Everything is connected and we are responsible for our actions.
