2026 Summer Reading

Folk Tales, Fairy Tales, and Family Lore

Folk Tales, Fairy Tales, and Family Lore

Nationally touring storyteller, Mo Reynolds, brings an interactive storytelling experience designed for the whole family—not just something to watch, but something to be part of.

Mo brings classic tales to life with fresh, engaging performances, then invites the audience to help create a brand-new story together. Along the way, families learn simple storytelling techniques they can use to share their own stories—during the program and long after they go home.

This program blends entertainment, creativity, and meaningful connection, giving libraries a unique offering that engages multiple generations at once.

Let's Do It!

Why Your Library Wants This!

Low Input---High Output

All Mo needs is a piece of carpet. No mic system, projector screens, or high tech needed. Campfires are optional. In one hour you get a show that entertains kids and the parents they brought along. They also leave with ideas of how to tell stories to each other!

Imagination Explosion!

Everything good we try to create in this world demands imagination. It takes imagination to read, to have empathy, to be curious, to have hope, to laugh. Few things build imagination like a story. Plus, kids and parents get to laugh together as they create a new story with Mo and then tell each other stories in new ways.

Not Another Remake

This isn't a sequel or yet another version of something you've done before. These are new stories, imaginative creations, and interactive experiences. Who needs a matinee of yet another live action Disney movie when they can hear brand new stories for free at your library?
Nobody, that's who.

Mo Reynolds is an international storyteller, volunteering at schools in Mexico as she traveled with her family. So yes, she can do this in Spanish too!

"Where goes Mo, there goes friendship."

Sam Payne,

National Storyteller

Mo has been a featured storyteller at the National Storytelling Festival, the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and many more. And for good reason. . .

"Mo braids her folktales and personal stories together with wit, understatement, humor, and heart. From little kid to great-grandparent, she’ll take her listeners to familiar places they’ll experience in wonder-filled new ways"

-Megan Hicks,

National Storyteller

Lisa Driver, MI

Mo is not just a storyteller, she is an educator. She has worked as a K-8 librarian and taught Junior High and High School. She knows how to create engaging activities, handle a crowd, and meet an audience where they are.

"Wow. My idea of storytelling has completely changed in coming here today."
