Richard Van Camp, story teller extraordinaire enthralls kids at Semiahmoo Library
On Friday Richard Van Camp told stories at Semiahmoo. The tales were intended for children in Grades 1 to 5, but I was there too. Along with the little kids, I learned how to call the northern lights, and how to repel them if they get too close, with their hissing and popping and their fishy smell. Did you know that frogs are indicators of clean water? Were you aware that bears can read your thoughts? What a privilege to watch Richard enthrall the kids, gifting them with aboriginal stories they'll long remember. Mahsi Cho, Richard.
