MaryAnn Paterniti

---

MaryAnn has been teaching and entertaining young children with stories for five decades. Since 1994, she has expanded her repertoire to include many age-appropriate stories for teens and adults. 

MaryAnn specializes in unusual folktales and fairytales—the quirky, eerie, funny and surprising stories that are simply too good not to share. She describes herself as a “storyteller who tells great stories.”

A native of NJ, she now lives in Burlington, Vermont, but travels regularly back to Pennsylvania and NJ to see family, friends and, of course, to tell stories! 

She is a member of the Patchwork Storytelling Guild, The Princeton Storytelling Circle, and the North East Storytellers and is continuously learning new stories and improving her skills.

She's also been a teacher for over 25 years. She uses music, movement and stories to make everyday fun!

"I tell folktales and fairytales because everyone needs to hear these stories!"
