About

Kamishibai is Japanese paper theater: the storyteller slides illustrated cards through a small wooden frame and tells the tale one picture at a time. This session marks World Kamishibai Day, and the frame arrives mounted on a bicycle. The storyteller draws on old French country legends and tales from the days of fireside gatherings. It suits kids who like picture books and can sit for a story session.
