Making the Heart Whole Again: Stories for a Wounded World

Noted storyteller, author, and performer Milbre Burch combines personal stories with folk and fairy tales from around the world in this Grammy-nominated recording (2007).

These unforgettable and moving folktales from Russia, Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, China, Thailand, and beyond remind us that the world is often saved by unlikely heroes (like the hummingbird on its back, ready to do its part to hold up a falling sky), and that healing and hope can come from unlikely sources.

Recorded live at the International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
