Blarney and Beyond
It is with great pleasure that the Children’s Area of the Kansas City Irish Fest announces their first performer for 2014.
“Yvonne Healy is an Irish pixie of a performer!” She didn’t merely kiss the Blarney Stone; she swallowed it. Participatory kids’ tales, chilling and comic ghost stories, outrageous family lore, or thought-provoking adult fare: this diversely talented wordsmith opens windows to life, as real and touching as it gets. Funny, too! Writer, storyteller, and “gifted educator” in preschool through college and professional programs, her award-winning presentations address curriculum content expectations for grades K-12 (GLCEs, HSCEs). Michigan based and Midwest favorite, Healy is a born storyteller! When she talks, the wind forgets to blow and kids forget about TV.
Yvonne is the only US performer approved as an Irish storyteller by Ireland's cultural authorities, Glor na nGael and Oireachtas na Gaelige.
