Master storyteller Laura Pershin Raynor will be visiting Bates for Halloween! It will certainly be a treat to have this special performance. "Laura Pershin Raynor has performed as a Teller in Residence at the International Storytelling Center in 2005, and she has been featured at the Celebration of Light, Timpanogos and Colonial Williamsburg festivals. Laura brings to life the colorful cast of characters from her unique and loving family. Her Grandma Dinah, who lived to be 105 years old, raised her on the tales of the Old Country, providing Laura with a landscape for her own stories, told in an animated and intimate style. Laura performed at the 2004 National Storytelling Festival. In 2006 she won the Award of Merit for Children's Librarian of the Year in the State of Michigan. Her storytelling home is in the Ann Arbor District Library where she happily tells tales to enthusiastic listeners every week." (http://www.aabookfestival.org/HTML/author_breakfast_2011.htm)
