Discover The Pied Piper.
A story about imagination, curiosity and the magic of storytelling.
The Pied Piper
Yarning — the raveling or unraveling of one's imagination — is like a huge ball of yarn.
The Pied Piper invites young readers into a world where storytelling becomes an opportunity to imagine, wonder and explore.
Alvin E. Jordan Sr. explores the simple magic that happens when a child listens to a story and begins creating pictures, characters and possibilities inside their own mind.
From animals at night to mysterious sounds, surprising moments and the endless possibilities beneath a tree with a book in hand, the story celebrates the imagination that lives inside every child.
Where a story becomes imagination.
The Pied Piper celebrates the ability of storytelling to stretch a child's imagination. Through the telling of a tale, children can begin to create their own pictures, feelings and ideas.
The experience can encourage curiosity, strengthen attention and help children discover new ways to express what they imagine and feel.
And imagination doesn't necessarily disappear with age. Whether we are thirty, forty, fifty or beyond, there remains an inner child ready to wonder, laugh, be surprised and turn the next page.
Imagine what might be there.
Have you ever wondered what animals do at night? Where do the birds go when the sun disappears? Why can a sudden surprise make you jump?
Storytelling gives children permission to ask those questions and create their own answers. A tree becomes a world. A book becomes an adventure. A simple sound can become something mysterious.
The Pied Piper encourages readers to look a little closer and discover the possibilities waiting inside their own imagination.
