‘It takes a story to raise a child’ Philipsburg Jubilee Library, Mondriaan Foundation and the Ark Foundation present “It takes a story to raise a child” – A wonderful, must see performance for all who love reading or hearing stories being told.

The role of stories plays a major part in the lives of children, whether hearing a story that has been passed down through the ages of time or reading a story themselves. The goal is simple – to raise happy, avid readers just by telling/hearing a story. The road from here to there has been made simple by Mr. Wijn and Stomp, a.k.a. Mr. Anansi, a professional theatrical storyteller from the Netherlands who is here on island to train prospective storytellers in the wonderful art of being a convincing storyteller.

The Storytellers will be showing their new skills to everyone at Philipsburg Cultural Centre on Back Street, on Friday, August 27, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.
