TESTIMONIALS
“Last year, approximately 1,000 sixth-grade students in Lorraine County (Ohio) attended our Young Author’s Conference. Candace Wolf was our featured storyteller. What a phenomenal experience for the students! The minute she appeared on stage, Candace had a captive audience. She made her stories come alive with her dramatic flair and melodious voice. Her overall performance made such an impact that the students verbally protested when her performance ended. They wanted more! Candace is a delightful person and a wonderful storyteller. We definitely plan to invite her back.”
—Rondell Belt, Coordinator, Gifted/Talented Program
“As the Circuit Rider for the Kentucky Arts Council in Southeastern Kentucky I highly recommend Candace Wolf as an outstanding storyteller and educator... Her storytelling style is so engaging even our youngest and wiggliest students were completely entranced. And no wonder! She draws students into her stories as active participants. Then she helps them create and share their own tales, making them full partners in the creative process. What truly makes Candace stand out as a performing and teaching artist is the exceptional effort she puts into her work. We hope to have her back to our region many times.”

“Candace Wolf has a truly unique voice. Those who have once fallen under her spell return time and again to hear her spin her magic. Candace’s repertoire is both fresh and richly complex. Her stories have integrity. Some she has researched, some are original – she believes in them all intensely. And they are a part of her. The emotional range that Candace brings to her storytelling is unusually broad. She is equally capable of chilling her audiences with psychological subtlety as she is of cracking them up with hilarious down-home humor. Candace has been instrumental in raising the level of sophistication and expectation of excellence in storytelling in the Takoma Park community, and we love her!”
—Jillian Hershberger, Librarian, Takoma Park, Maryland
