Professional storyteller Susan Black presents enthusiastic performances of stories from around the world. She has been captivating audiences for over five years, and is currently the Storyteller-in-Residence at Robert Clow Elementary School in Naperville, IL. Susan believe there is no escaping the power of stories and their ability to nurture our hearts and our community. Susan’s stories will make you want to move, chant, sing, think, imagine, and dream!

Susan says, “I tell stories because I can’t sing! When I find a story I like, when I’m able to work with it until it feels right, when I’m able to tell that story to others and they like it too—Oh that’s when I hit the high notes.” A friend pointed out years ago that she had the gift of story, It took awhile, but finally Susan believed her. Now she uses her friend’s example to remind her to tell people about the gifts they have, and might not even recognize yet. She believes stories are the stuff good hearts are made of.

Susan’s extraordinary flair for storytelling enhances the love of reading and the joy of learning. Her stories support all subject areas of educational curriculum and aid in the development of listening comprehension and vocabulary.

The children enjoyed your stories immensely, and I, personally, was fascinated by the stories.”
