National Storytelling Week With Author Anita Frost

Author visits from Anita Frost for National Storytelling Week 

It's been a fantastic National Storytelling Week for Green Bean and our friends! We've enjoyed visiting schools and libraries, and connecting with both new and existing fans.

Thank you to the schools, teachers, families and little ones who came along for storytime session with Multi-Award-Winning Author Anita Frost.

​Anita is the author of the Green Bean Collection and the founder of Green Bean Studios.

We were especially thrilled to have Sarah from Wigan join us this week. Sarah, who was born partially deaf, has learned Makaton and British Sign Language (BSL) through the NHS since she was two years old. We're excited to announce that Sarah will be joining the Green Bean team this year as a Precious Moments Ambassador. She'll be supporting our fans at storytime by accommodating children and parents with additional learning needs and teaching all children about different forms of storytelling.

National Storytelling Week 2025 runs from Saturday, February 1st to Sunday, February 9th. You can participate by downloading our Green Bean resources.

This wonderful annual event celebrates the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world, foster empathy, provide relaxation and escape, and help develop essential literacy skills and school readiness.

The theme for National Storytelling Week 2025 is "Reimagine your world." The world around us is full of secret lives, places, and possibilities – from unexpected encounters on the way to school to strange sounds at night or unexplored paths. The most extraordinary stories can come from the most ordinary places; they just need someone to discover them.
