Storytelling session at Chihaya High School
Despite both the Chuo line and Yamanote line grinding to a halt this morning (a train driver saw some smoke, apparently), I managed to arrive at Chihaya High School in the Senkawa area of Tokyo just in time for my storytelling session today.
It was the first time for me to visit the school and I was so impressed with the friendliness of both the teachers and students. Many students were very outgoing and so it was certainly a very responsive audience.
I enjoyed narrating two of my stories - "Peter the Lonely Pineapple" and "Princess Lizzie" and I hope that the students found the real-life story about my experience with having picture books published a little helpful or interesting, as well.
I would like to thank Nobuko Shimoyama-sensei and all of the other teachers for organizing today's session and I hope to have the opportunity to visit the school again.
