Since 1977, Michael Parent has been  performing stories and songs throughout the United States. School assembly programs are one of this dynamic performer's specialties.

Michael's school shows include songs  accompanied by various instruments, folktales, and an original story  (sometimes including juggling) that addresses issues related to growing  up -- e.g. dealing with bullies, siblings, friends, peer pressure, etc.

Stories are generally aimed at a  particular age group. So it's usually best to limit the range of any  audience to two or three grades: kindergarten through second grade;  third through fifth; sixth through eighth; ninth and tenth; eleventh  and twelfth, etc.
