The Storyteller's Almanac

Created by Elise Hurst

This enchanting collection of 52 wordless illustrations invites you to become the storyteller—uncovering new layers of your creativity and seeing where they lead!

Have you ever encountered an owl riding a bicycle through a snowstorm, or a giant octopus visiting a cottage underneath the sea? The Storyteller’s Almanac is filled with extraordinary characters to meet and unusual places to wander. But the story behind these magical scenes? That’s entirely up to you.

Inside this all-ages picture book, you’ll find 52 richly detailed illustrations to explore—of curious creatures and fantastical worlds—each one an adventure waiting to unfold. Use the pages as imaginative storytelling prompts at bedtime, on a road trip, or during a creative writing exercise. And when you need a little extra inspiration, there’s a scavenger hunt to guide you to hidden details in the artwork to spark new ideas.  

The Storyteller’s Almanac is a resource you’ll reach for again and again—whether you’re: 

• A child discovering new ways to play and imagine 
• A parent looking to connect with your child 
• A teacher seeking thoughtful story starters for the classroom 
• Someone creative searching for a fresh spark of inspiration

Where will your imagination take you? To endless, wondrous stories that are just as unique as you!
