Aren’t we the lucky ones? Renita Boyle – resident story-teller with Wigtown Book Festival offered to come along and share one of her wonderfully interactive story-telling sessions with us at lunchtime today!
After we’d eaten lunch, we excitedly found a spot on one of the picnic rugs and listened avidly as Renita shared her enthusiasm with a fun warm-up song of Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (with a bit of a twist! We did this ‘Renita-style!) and then kept us all enthralled as she relayed the story of ‘The Strange Visitor’. We all took part in the actions as the story unfolded. Who was the ‘Strange Visitor’?!
This fabulous story comes from a book called ‘Strange Visitor’ by Renita and illustrated by Mike Abel. It takes an old Scottish tale and shares it in both English and Scots. We all LOVED it that’s for sure!
Thank you Renita. It’s always a joy to see you!
