Program Overview

Designed for informal/after-school learning settings, FableVision's Start with a Story program ties the works of New York Times best-selling author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds to hands-on and technology-based activities/projects. Lessons are typically 1-2 hours in length. While teachers can begin with any lesson, we encourage instructors to start with a book reading and an SEL activity and/or the team-building activity before moving onto animation, engineering, and/or journaling.

About Start with a Story: I Am Courage

In I Am Courage by Susan Verde, illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds, the main character recognizes how they can be courageous in life, finding ways to reveal their inner strength.

This message is important for anyone that sometimes feels unsteady or afraid. The lessons in Start with a Story: I Am Courage encourage self-management strategies for those times when we need to find our inner strength, and help build creative skills like embracing challenges and envisioning future goals. We hope you enjoy Start with a Story: I Am Courage.

Note: Licenses to Animation-ish and FabMaker Studio are recommended for two of the lessons. If you would like to purchase autographed books by Peter H. Reynolds visit his online bookshop, The Dot Central.
