"I have got a story to tell!" One of Diane Ferlatteīs most
vivid memories of listening to her relatives tell stories on her grandmotherīs
porch in New Orleans.
It was only after the adoption of her three year old son Joey, that she became
interested in telling stories herself.
After weeks of searching for creative ways to initiate an interest in books and
less in his interest in television, she began to use animation of characters to
reach him. It worked! Diane again became enamored with the wisdom and charm of
storytelling. Diane has been a featured storyteller at the
annual "National Storytellingfestival" held in Jonesborough, Tennessee. She has
also toured internationally in New Zealand, Australia and Bermuda, and was
already nine times guest of "The long night" in Graz.
Perhaps her most exciting moment came when she performed at the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. in the salut to children as
part of President Clintonīs inauguration. For further information visit:
