Greetings gentle readers and Welcome to 2022. I am eager to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the new year. Storytelling, the stories we tell, the stories we listen to, and the stories we create together, are fundamental to the world we want to live in and how we help children make sense of what’s going on. This story written by Alice Mcdowell and told to me by Mary Ann, my friend and storytelling colleague, confronts the insanity of the modern world and reorients us to our deep interdependence with the earth.
