THE ART OF STORYTELLING

Literacy and storytelling is at the core of our mission here at Our Big Earth. Reading together as a family and creating stories are one of the most significant ways for parents and kids to connect. We spend a lot of time reading at OBE Headquarters and love to share our favorite finds twice a month as part of our Rainy-Day Book Club.

Through our partnership with Courtenay’s Laughing Oyster Book Shop, you’ll also find us actively engaged in the community connecting families and kids to great storytellers, special events and interactive projects.
