It's a Kentucky version of the tale of the kind and unkind girls, retold with Jennifer and Nathaniel Whitman. She has written many books, including "Teaching with Story: Classroom Connections to Storytelling," which she co-authored with Jennifer MacDonald Whitman and Nathaniel Forrest Whitman to encourage teachers to incorporate storytelling into their classrooms. The book won a 2014 Storytelling World Award.
