Guest storyteller: Kashmira Sheth
Storytellers from different cultures representing communities in Dane County will perform one hour programs at eight different library locations and entertain attendees by sharing their stories and traditions. Storytelling is the preservation of history and a vehicle for sharing wisdom, serving as a source of comfort while providing means of entertainment. Storytelling allows us to reflect on not only who we are but also upon whom we’ve been and what we can be, both as individuals and a collective humanity. It spans generations, exists across culture and is as old as humanity itself.
Kashmira Sheth will talk about how stories and storytellers in India surrounded her childhood and influenced her writing. She will introduce her picture books and discuss story ideas that are inspired by her family's day-to-day life and steeped in cultural heritage. She will also briefly share her own writing and publishing journey.
