This is another case where I waiting for a show to begin at a library and picked up this book. I loved it right away! As I have mentioned before, I love books that can teach you something at the same time as entertain - and this book delivers in spades!  This story is about a daughter and father that find a couple of old potatoes - and instead of throwing them away - they plant them!  Told from May to September watch as the perfectly illustrated book gives you a great account of how to make a gross discovery into a positive learning experience!

In preperation for this Saturday’s event The Book Shack has my library of storytelling CDs for sale - RIGHT NOW! - Check them out!  I’ve heard they are great for car rides, night time and casual listening

My family came to my show at the Holmes Public Library - and Lex had a blast.  I have to admit, it melts my heart to see my little girl enjoying my stories like this.

This little girl really has made my life better in so many ways.  I am thankful everyday for such a happy, pretty and joyful little girl.

I was more than thrilled when the Montessori Children’s House of Nantucket called and invited me to the island to tell some stories.  They were having their annual fundraiser and they provide a day full of crafts, music and of course - Big Ryan!

The trip over, as cold as it was, was still beautiful and wild.  I had never been in a plane so small - but it was so worth it!  It’s like a 15 minute roller-coaster :)  I am sure it has a lot to do with the weather, as it was quite blustery along with the bitter coldness!

I have a cousin who lives on the island who came to show me around while waiting for my shows to begin.  The best part thus far was meeting her little pup, Fiona.  But before I knew it the afternnon had arrived and it was time to tell some stories!  I could not have asked for a better crowd - a room full of happy children - all ready to play and laugh along with my Tall Tales!

More pics are up on my Facebook page - check them out here - and while you are there “like” my page to get the latest Big Ryan updates!

If you want something to do today - check me out at the Kingston Library @ 11:00 this morning!  Click on the seal for more info!

I am going to be in Nantucket - just for the day - to tell my stories.  I have never been so I am pretty excited.  I will make sure to post pics when I get back!

Come get out of this dreary weather with a Big Ryan show at one of my favorite local libraries!  The Holmes Public Library in Halifax!  Make sure to be there a bit early to get a good spot!  Click on the image to get more info.

I am going to be putting on a Big Ryan spectacular show at the Book Shack located in the Independence Mall, Kingston, MA.  Located where the old Borders Book store was - this new beautiful space has plenty of room for the kids to come and enjoy some fantastic stories!  Also, my CDs will be available to purchase at the Book Shack - starting TODAY!!  If you have yet to buy one - go now and shell out the clams!  It will be well worth it!  I promise!

I took Lex to get her very first hair cut.  It was a little emotional… for both of us.  But the lady who cut her hair was so fantastic - very sweet and made Lex feel comfortable.  The hardest thing was watching as the woman cut her bangs.  It really made her look older - changed the look of her whole face.

She looks so beautiful with her new haircut.  My favorite part is that she no longer has her hair in her face.  It was bothering her - and now it doesn’t!
