ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dovie Thomason is an award-winning storyteller of Native and Scot Traveller descent, who has spent nearly forty years weaving the traditional tales she was taught growing up with stories from her own life. Through her storytelling, she shares her culture with listeners of all ages in schools, festivals, museums and libraries around the world. These are the old stories that preserve and share values over the generations to not only delight, but to gently and memorably teach proper lessons about behavior. A former teacher and artist-in-education in several states, she is a strong advocate of using storytelling in families and classrooms to affirm identity and values, as well as enhancing literacy and supporting oral language development from birth throughout life.
