Each of these award-winning eleven stories, narrated by renowned storyteller, Ralph Singh, stars a child or an animal.

They introduce and celebrate diverse cultures from around the world and teach a particular value or reinforce a positive behavior. Ideal for both educators and families, the stories provide the perfect opportunity to engage children in conversations that support making wise choices, and nurturing compassion.

“Stories to Light Our Way is a wonderful resource for introducing young people to the wisdom and moral lessons found in the world’s religions and cultures. The stories are presented in ways that allow children to learn about the beliefs and values that have shaped h man experience for centuries. The Wisdom Thinkers Network’s approach to story-telling is an educationally and constitutionally sound way for schools to build good character and encourage cross-cultural understanding.”

“Ralph Singh has advanced a vital goal. He’s figured out an engaging way for young people to grapple with crucial issues of injustice. “Change the Story, A Game to Alter Reality” enables young people to examine many of the most pressing challenges of our times-including poverty, bullying, environmental degradation, and intolerance. And it gives young people the space to think about the challenges of change and to brainstorm actionable solutions.”
