In celebration of the 2023 Summer Reading Challenge!

Storyteller Dave Del Rocco will share folktales from every corner of the globe, including Laos, Hawai‘i, Italy, Alaska, the Philippines, Africa, and more. These funny tales explain how different cultures view aspects of their world. Suitable for all ages but especially for children ages 5-12.

Dave is a Hawaiian Culture and Social Studies teacher at an O‘ahu private school. He began storytelling while working as a new librarian at the Hawai‘i Kai branch. Dave has shared stories at a library conference and workshops.
