Hanah Ehrenreich on the Storytelling With Children Festival (May 17) at The MOST in Syracuse Host Noah Chrysler interviews Hanah Ehrenreich, festival organizer and a Syracuse common councilor, about the free Storytelling With Children Festival on May 17 at The MOST in Syracuse, created to address a literacy crisis by giving kids a “why” through imagination and oral storytelling. The day includes a sensory-friendly hour with deaf storytellers using ASL, performances by storytellers and authors including Bruce Coville, Vanessa Johnson, Perry Ground (Onondaga Turtle clan), Christine Darrow, and Paul Solan, plus activity stations like an illustration workshop led by Sue Ketter. Author and folklorist Adam Gidwitz will record a live, kid-participatory “Syracuse fairytale” for the Grim Grimmer Grimace podcast; his sessions are the only ticketed portion, with VIP meet-and-greet options. An adult-focused panel, “The Art and Industry of Storytelling,” will be held at 7 PM at Parthenon Books.
