The Gift of Story: Exploring the Affective Side of the  Reading Life

International School of Amsterdam

Explore, with Author Librarian John Schu, how the universal truths found in stories can change, inspire, connect and answer us

Explore, with Author Librarian John Schu, how the universal truths found in stories can change us, inspire us, connect us to others, answer our deepest questions, and help us heal.When we share our hearts through story, we inspire others to think more deeply about their own hearts and how stories connect us all. In this workshop of the heart, teacher, librarian, children&#x27;s author, book lover, and story ambassador John Schu invites readers to consider literacy beyond its academic benefits, highlighting the ways story speaks to our hearts and brings us together. Presented through a study of five affective elements of story --- healer, inspiration, clarifier, compassion, and connector --- participants will explore how the universal truths found in stories can change us, inspire us, connect us to others, answer our deepest questions, and help us heal.
