Educating & Entertaining Through Storytelling.

Debra Ballou, at the sea

Sharing the environmental and cultural history of our world.

As a young girl, this New Hampshire native spent weekends on her grandparents' farm listening to the stories her grandmother told.

Now, Debra loves to share stories that entertain and teach about the natural and cultural history of New England and the world.

Some stories include musical instruments or singing, several invite audience participation, while others are just fun to hear.

Since 1995, she has been storytelling in a wide variety of settings and is a featured teller at a number of venues.

Your audience was captivated by your stories. We are so glad you were able to join us.

— Sharon Wood, Fiske Free Library
