What Families and Schools Say

Sue is attentive, engaging, and also noticed when the sounds were TOO LOUD and naturally quieted the room down for my highly sensitive son. Thank you! 

-Kayla, parent of a 3-year-old

We are both educators, and we know good storytelling when we see it. What an unparalleled experience that you do more than "read a book." You are amazing! We love the engagement with the audience and the complete commitment to character.

-Gary and Lizzie, parents of a three- and four-year-old

I want to thank you AGAIN for joining our family fun night! The kids and parents alike had a blast and really loved having you there. You have a big fan base at PNCP!

-Jennifer, parent of two preschoolers at Phinney Neighborhood Co-Op Preschool

Alex is delighted and intrigued by Sue and months later asks "what she's doing today" every day. She's made a loving and indelible mark on him!

-Schyler, parent of Alex, age 2

My daughter was in your preschool storytelling class two years ago, and now my son has you. She still talks about Miss Sue and her memories of your story time. My son cannot stop talking about it! You make a difference in these children's lives. THANK YOU.

-Christopher Robin Preschool parent of a 4- and 7-year-old

Well done! As an elementary reading teacher of five years, I heartily recommend your story time as one of the best in the city!

-Andrea, grandparent of a three-year-old

An incredible live performance, and we loved it! I have NEVER seen anything like this before.

-Happy parent of a two- and four-year-old

I don't know what we'd do without Miss Sue's storytime...the kids absolutely LOVE her! 

-Jen, pre-K educator, Lawton Boys and Girls Club Preschool

Sue is the silliest woman I have ever met (and I am pretty silly myself). This is the BEST ATTENDED STORY TIME I have ever seen, and Sue is the reason why. 

-Rachael, Pre-K Educator, Seattle

Watching Kate McKinnon on SNL makes me think of Sue, and Sue makes me think of Kate McKinnon - both extremely talented and zany physical comedians.

Amazing! Came all the way from Arizona!
