Follow on Google News | Planting Stories in Young MindsNative American Storytelling Linda Boyden, Children’s Author, Illustrator, and Storyteller.
By: Progressive Risining Phoenix Press Redding, California, author and storyteller, Linda Boyden, grew up playing in a sandbox of words. She imagined plays for her dolls to perform and told herself stories to fall asleep by. Bribing neighborhood friends to be students at her imaginary school or to act in her backyard shows, charging the audience--their mothers--a penny admission price, they entertained everyone for hours. Boyden, a retired teacher, abandoned full-time teaching for full-time writing. Her first picture book, The Blue Roses debuted in 2002 from Lee and Low Books and winning their first New Voices Award. Since then it has won two other national awards and was included on the CCBC (Cooperative Children's Book Center) 2003 Choices list of recommended titles. Her second book, Powwows Coming, was published by the University of New Mexico Press in 2007. She illustrated it making the pictures from cut-paper collage, another thing she loved to do as a child: making pictures with crayons and scissors. Book #3 (2010), also from the University of New Mexico Press, Giveaways: An ABC Book of Loanwords from the Americas, again illustrated by Boyden. She's a dedicated storyteller, performing preschool stories monthly at both the Redding Barnes and Noble store and the Redding Library and a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (http://www.scbwi.org/ Linda will be signing copies of her work, participating and sharing with the children at the following events: April 10 she'll be story telling as part of the Week of the Young Child at Redding's Turtle Bay Exploration Park, http://www.turtlebay.org/ April 22 local school visit, part of Authors For Earth Day www.authorsforearthday.org She'll be part of Simpson University's annual KinderCollege event: http://www.redding.com/ And June 6-8 she'll be part of The Great Carson City Literature Festival, Carson City NV.
