Why not inspire others to be champions - whether it be to stand up and ask questions, help out someone in need, work as a team to create something great for others, or to build confidence to make a new friend. Read a few of these tales or tell your version of Zorro and have the kids make their marks!
"Every Hero Has A Story." My Blogging From A to Z theme bridges the summer library reading programs throughout the U.S. with storytelling opportunities, ideas, and activities. Who wouldn't want to wear a cape, black mask, and handle the coolest, sharpest sword in the world - one that he easily carves his trademark Z into any surface? Zorro is the village of Los Angeles' Robin Hood - steals from the rich and gives to the poor. The setting of Johnston McCulley's story of Zorro is in old California where oppression rules. Native peasants are abused and innocent bystanders are persecuted by corrupt rulers and their army. Diego Vega has no choice but to disguise himself as Zorro by night to be the champion of freedom for those in need of his services. Why not inspire others to be champions - whether it be to stand up and ask questions, help out someone in need, work as a team to create something great for others, or to build confidence to make a new friend. Read a few of these tales or tell your version of Zorro and have the kids make their marks! It's been a fantastic month of theme blogging. I'd like to thank all of you who have visited my posts and those that left comments. It's always such a boost to read what you have to say! Please pass my blog on to teachers, librarians, families who would benefit from stories of bravery. We're all heroes - tell your tales!

Thanks so much Csenge! You were the one I learned about the A-Z Blog Challenge - thank you!!!! My heroes are certainly on the elementary school level but have certainly enjoyed reading about your epic heroes - pretty amazing characters - I'm so impressed that you read all of those epics!

I had so much fun reading your posts Pam - Story Slam is so new to us that it's great to hear about it first hand from a participant - you certainly are bridging traditional storytelling with this very popular type of telling! Congratulations!
