Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Tell Me a Story
Chase Collins · 2007
72/100
👍 Worth It
Chase Collins solves a real problem — most storytelling guides inspire you but don't actually show you how to build a story for your specific child — and the step-by-step framework grounded in the child's temperament and current challenges is genuinely distinctive. The Waldorf and attachment-parenting communities have embraced it for good reason, and its longevity through multiple reprintings is its own endorsement.
