"We have
thoroughly enjoyed all of Hardy's performances.
He has an active style which keeps the children's
attention, and usually invites the audience to
participate in his stories. As a reading
specialist, it is exciting to see him bring
stories alive for youngsters."

"Thank
you so much for performing at our Fine Arts
Fest.... I was delighted in the stories you chose
to share and your sensitivity to the different
grade levels with whom you worked. The response
of both the students and the faculty has been
overwhelming! I was thrilled to discover that the
fifth grade students were leaving the
storytelling area wiping tears of laughter from
their eyes and declaring, 'That storyteller guy
is AWESOME!!' Almost every teacher approached me
later saying they were very impressed with you
and wanting to know if we could have you back
again next year. It is not often that someone
comes into a school for a single day and leaves
such an impression on students and staff alike.
Thank you for sharing your talents with us. You
may be sure we will be contacting you again in
the future!"
—Kathryn A.
Roe, Principal
Rosendale-Brandon School District
"I feel
sure that you have been by far the most popular
storyteller that we have ever had here .... The
students still ask year after year if we can have
you come again ...."
