I have traveled widely throughout Australia and New Zealand telling stories to children, teens and adults. I write values-based children's books and present values-based storytelling. I would be happy to come to your school, camp or event and present Values-in-Story to your students!Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06861843050273076899noreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-642398860506480005.post-70441470203282066532010-10-11T20:10:00.001+11:002010-10-11T20:10:36.134+11:00<br />"Can you wear my boots?"<br />Explore the values of humility, community and the power of sharing your story with others in Giant Boots:<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/11/209.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/10/11/s_209.jpg' border='0' width='192' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Order your copy today for just $10 from me!<br /><br />Email davedgren@gmail.com<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/642398860506480005-7044147020328206653?l=valuesinstory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06861843050273076899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-642398860506480005.post-62736220358003133662009-10-18T09:13:00.006+11:002009-10-18T09:30:14.817+11:00My experience with drugs, alcohol and cigarettes has been a "learning from other people's mistakes" journey.
