Thirty-Three Multicultural Tales to Tell (American Storytelling)

People everywhere tell stories. It’s something humans just do. We share stories that make us laugh, make us think, or simply sound wonderful when spoken aloud. Stories seem to pop up wherever people gather, and some are so powerful and meaningful that they travel far beyond the place where they were first told.

This book brings together thirty‑three of those special tales—stories that feel familiar no matter where you’re from. They come from Brazil, China, Korea, Russia, Tibet, Africa, Native American traditions, and many other parts of the world. Each one has been retold in a short, easy‑to-share style that works for kids, families, and classrooms. These are stories meant to be heard, enjoyed, and passed along.
